Share pics... How has been your experience

I took some photos but they will not upload. So, ... My ASA Pens "Sniper" arrived yesterday. Mine is the brown rippled ebonite version. If is fitted with the JOWO "Fine" nib. I do not know if the pen has a screw in nib unit, but as my pen writes perfectly as delivered, I do not anticipate changing it. The pen was delivered with a Schmidt K5 converter and it works flawlessly. I think the pen is beautiful to both the eye and the hand. Some have compared the appearance to that of the Lamy 2000 but that pen never came in rippled ebonite. This is a good sized pen that fits my hand well. I am very pleased with the pen and the consistently wonderful communications and service from Mr. Subramaniam of ASAPens. I have enjoyed participating in this group buy experience. Thank you to all those who helped make it happen. The result is a really great pen.

I just ordered a Sniper from the ASA pens website. I am very interested in this pen and cannot wait for its arrival. Thanks much in advance!

I've gone through three converter fills with my Sniper. I'm so so pleased with it. It's a wonderful pen. The warm ebonite is such a pleasure to hold. Can I ask, have many people used it as an ED? If so, how has it handled burping etc? My acrylic Galactic isn't much of a burper but I'm conscious of how warm the ebonite becomes in my hand.

I'm still waiting for mine, but it shouldn't burp, purely because of how heavily finned the feed is.

Also, the difference in temperature where you live and where I, or a person who has the pen, may live, might make a difference.

Hey J_MM!

 

That's a wonderful pen you have put together, I would very much like to order one in the same configuration. Could you please share a few more pics of the pen with focus on the clip, section etc?

 

Thanks a ton!

Yes, I will post pics after work today.

Yes, I will post pics after work today.

Thank You, looking forward to it!

Here are a few pics with Gama Popular.

 

The only thing I will add is that the section to barrel connection is a bit lose when screwing it in. It screws in tight at the end and I have not had any leaks but it has more play than I am used to.
