Which Is The Best Indian Fountain Pen You Own ?

[mhguda]

Where can I, living in the US, purchase a Deccan Advocate?

Contact fellow member Mesu. I've got almost all my Deccans from her, including the Author, Advocate, and Advocate junior.

Wonderful pens, and Mesu provides great service.

I liked my CLICK Bamboo Ebonites, Nib writes good ,point size Fine, Good size pen . Its drying time is also quite good it wrote after 20 days of non usage also.

Noodler's Neponset, new for 2014!

Thanks for recoģnizing that as an Indian pen. It usually appears here under the USA subforum.

F.P.R. Treveni Junior Ebonite - Red Mottled - Broad nib

[SCPaul]

I ordered a blue swirled and black ebonite model 4C from Ranga that is amazing. It is absolutely flawless.

 

No doubt, I will be adding more of their pens to my collection.

Ranga Duofold, brown ebonite, with a #6 JoWo nib (from Goulet pens) installed.

 

FPR Triveni, black ebonite with flex nib.

 

FPR Triveni Junior, red-and-blue swirled acrylic, with flex nib.

 

Can't really choose between these three - they're all great pens!

Until today I would have settled for either of my two Gama Hawks, I've got a clipless matt black one and a regular shiny one, but today my new ASA Galactic arrived, well done Mr Subramaniam an excellent pen, I'm really delighted with it, I love to see the ink sloshing about inside it. Here is a picture of it along with the matt Gama Hawk, ink is R&K Alt Goldgrun.

+1 to ASA GALACTIC

My Galactic Reviewed here ASA-Galactic

I just love this pen

[avoiceinthedistance]

My favorite Indian pens are the Ratnamson Supreme, Deccan Masterpiece, and Ranga model 5. And I am awaiting a couple Kim & Co. pens from Mesu and a sandalwood pen from Manoj at Fosfor. Oh -- I quite like my Gama Supreme too. I hope I'm not missing any.

For me, this would be the "ACR Kim Writer 2", as pictured here:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/classifieds/item/29860-acr-kim-writer-straight-fine-writers-calligraphy-point/

The name's a mouthful, but the pen looks very elegant, to me.

 

Black ebonite, part bakul finish, part glossy; flattop.

Manufacturing tolerances are close to Lamy 2000 standard, meaning one can hardly see the seam between cap and barrel when closed.

 

Eyedropper (over 3ml capacity), but with a huge (Sheaffer-like) feed that keeps blobs at bay.

 

And a wonderful writer with a (monotone in my case) cursive italic steel nib.

 

Really an outstanding pen, not just in its price range. And not just among Indian pens.

But I don't know whether Sree still makes them (got mine last November and he seemed surprised that his ad was still up).

That is a beautiful and extremely gorgeous pen.

 

It does remind me of Lamy 2000
