Thank you Kahler.

 

I am sorry, it has been a long moment this seller has no more pens for sale. I will let you know if ever he lists more pens, again.

Kahler, here is the pen you wanted. Let us know what you think of it, if you get it, will you?

I've thought about this pen in the past, however, was a bit concerned about the step down. Is it as sharp as it appears?

I've been meaning to start contributing to this post for the longest time, so here's a pack of Prasads:

cjabbott,

 

Great Prasads, making me envious. Here's my small Swarna, to which I fitted an Ambitious nib.

Have a pen just like yours...same colour, same cap...only mine doesn't say Swarna.

[cjabbott]

I like that Swarna!

 

Here's a couple of Misaks, Brahmams and my own little Swarna.

Interesting! So it was reported that the clips were made by a specialist contractor, and they tend to ship out clips already branded; so two unrelated makers could have received clips branded Swarna and all their pens ended up being identified as such. Another example was Wilson: the firm never planned to use that brand name, but when the clips arrived they were already branded Wilson, so they just went ahead and used them, thus ended up with that name.

 

As Swarna has closed down, it would be hard to positively identify the actual maker of our pens. Supposing they were really by them, yours might have got a broken clip and the repairer put in a different one, and vice versa. Still, they are interesting witnesses to the Indian pen-making industry nonetheless.

Thanks for the info Seele...highly appreciated.
