Onyx Group Buy India

[Doulton]

I've got mine in hand. It is beautiful indeed and a very smooth writer.

Thank you!

[Lexaf]

Pictures please!

I got mine, great pens. People mistake them for Nakayas.

My red Onyx came. Am inking it up with some KWZ ink. Pictures soon...

[Crewel]

Did anyone else get a nice surprise with their order? I don't have any pics to show right now, but I was very delighted to receive a novelty item. Not giving anything away yet for fear of spoilers.

[mhguda]

Yes, I did. With both the blue and the red pen. Two different little attention-showers.

Yes

YES!! That's exactly it! I had never seen a fountain pen that tiny. On a whim, I actually inked the pen, and it wrote decently. Such a tiny thing, obviously small ink capacity for an eyedropper (less than an international cart worth), tiny nib, but it wrote. I had to use 2 fingers to do it, but managed somehow.

Would be nice if any of these have an ink-vue and maybe a pizton.

[mhguda]

No. The design is clean and spare, and the more beautiful for that. If you must needs have a piston, the converter is piston type.

No photos of a red one??

 

Could one of you post one, please?

[mhguda]

Here is a picture of the five I now have. Two of the earlier model, three of the later.

The red is second from left. First one, though my picture does not show it too well, is the blue.

Hi, I'm wondering if this is still available? And is the second from left a blue? Thank you!

[mhguda]

Not sure if they are still available, you could ask FPN member Mesu who supplied them. She has posted on this thread.

THe colors are, from left to right: blue, red, black, black, black. (the early version was only available in black. I got the new colors because of their novelty, but frankly, the blacks are my favorite for this. And I prefer the clipless, although the clips themselves are nice and handy in some situations. The clipless are usually desk pens for me.

Thank you Vulpenfanaat! I appreciate your help. I just got my first Indian ebonite pen this week (a Gama Kuyil) and though I'll likely change out the nib, I quite love the feel of it. Well, I will see if there are any still left.

[mhguda]

Welcome, and keep us posted - others might want to know if they're still available, too...

Enjoy your ebonites!

[Edsal17]

These are really attractive looking pens. I would definitely be interested too.

[fountainpagan]

Thank you for the photos Mhguda.

 

My!!! That red ebonite, gold coated nib Onyx is a true beauty. I regret I didn't order one. Grrrr

[mhguda]

It is, isn't it? And the others too. I love them all, from the blue through to the blacks.

[Mesu]
