New Pens On Asapens

Do I understand the overlay is in silver? Beautiful pen.

Yes the overlay is silver.

Wow that is a beauty.

And would cost much less than in the west. The only problem I can think of is that typically Indian silver smiths don't use sterling and therefore their wares are prone to tarnishing.

[mhguda]

That's good to know. I guess it would mean extra care and maintenance, at least. But I think it would be worth it...

I like the "GAMA" on the clip as well. Very nice.

ASA has launched its own brand of FP by the name Athlete

That is a good looking pen? I especially like the gloss black. The small step at the end of the section adds to the style. Something about the shape says, "India," to me.

The engraving on FP is normal engraving. The white is just to make it visible (img sent to me by ASApens.in)

I just ordered a green ripple. It should be here in about two weeks.

Even i have ordered a green & brown :-)

 

Not sure whether they are pure ripple variety or mixed variety, because the listing says "mottled"

[mhguda]

I too have now ordered two. They seem to go fast. Handsome pens...

The photo I saw was rippled but I like both. I look forward to seeing what arrives.

Let's put some pictures up when they arrive.

Agreed. Although his pictures are usually very good.

Great looking pens and a very nice website. I've bookmarked it for a future shopping trip - Christmas is coming.

Was torn between Shiny black and the mottled/ rippled brown. After two rounds of adding and removing from the shopping cart, finally ordered the black.Hope it turns out as good as the pic.
