I'm a huge Ratnamson fan. Here's a spread of 302's along with a couple of companionably sized ballpoints and a rollerball.

I thought I might include some little guys. A Deccan bullet, two Ratnamson SS's, a clipless Guider and two of Guider's tiniest offerings.

Did you buy direct from them? Lots of people say there are communication issues.

I got these a few years ago. I initiated the transaction and had some help wrapping it up.

beautiful ebonite ...is the nib any custom grind by sk?

[fountainpagan]

Thank you, ak2k5.

 

No, not this nib. It is a regular Kanwrite one.

I'm back after such a long time and landed on these wonderful pictures.

@[member='cjabbott'], That is a wonderful set, looks beautiful. Are you collecting more Indian pens or Ebonite ones?

 

 

@[member='Sagarb'], the picture and pen look stunning. @[member='S-K'] does some amazing work, did you get the band commissioned from him too?

[member='fountainpagan'] Is that sailboat in the background something you drew/write? Can we get a picture of it? It looks really nice, reminds me of this wonderful graphic novel called Habibi.

[fountainpagan]

Yes, flummoxed, I did it. But it is not my creation: I copied it at sight from a calligraphy book, as a practice exercise.

I will post a photo of it, as soon as I can, ok?

Fat pen: Ranga something or other.

@ flummoxed.

 

Here is the picture you have requested me.

I have to thank you, because I didn't know Habibi. I went browsing for it, and liked what I found. I have ordered it.
