Brahman Ebonite

Great review and at that price, a steal!!

 

 

With the nib I was wondering if you had considered reshaping it to a finer writting profile?

 

I had not considered it just because reshaping the nib would cost more than the pen. However, now that I've been collecting fountain pens for close to an entire year, my perspective has changed and I might just do that.

+1, this is a great pen. I just picked one up the other day and I love it. I put some Si grease on the threads (as a matter of principle, I do this with all my ED fillers even if they might not need it) and loaded it with some Noodler's... wow!

 

Writes very smoothly, as mentioned the nib does make a lot of noise, but does not feel scratchy at all. Very satisfying to write with. To see about capacity, I used a spare converter (standard european) as an eyedropper... this things holds four and a half converters full of ink before it got anywhere near the threads. I won't have to fill it up for months!

Yeah, it seems we need more information on Indian pens here - it looks like there are some very interesting (and inexpensive) models out there.

My Brahmam has been 'inspired' from the MB 146. Mine has a 14kt gold nib and is an ED too.
