GAMA Sheer Acrylic ED

[hari317]

This pen is sold by Gem and Co in Chennai. I first noticed this with my friend Jai (Shrujaya). After a long wait finally I could buy one. 

 

 

Stock Gama 1mm nib. It writes very well. 

Sheaffer Ebonite feed. 

This cigar version that I called the Gama Himadri was bought in 2014. I had done a DIY section threading for JoWo and M800 nib units. 

 

 

 

JoWo and Gama nibs. 
 

cheers

Great pen. How does this compare in size to gama eyas, airmail 71 jt and Asa galactic?

[cvk]

Also what is the translucent cartridge like thing on the pen on the left

Thank you.
I only have 71JT. I think the Gama is much bigger.

It’s an empty giant Pelikan cartridge.

Aah ... so you finally got one!! Great! I call this the Gama Demonstrator, thought there isn't much that the pen demonstrates 😀 if you're using blue ink, allow the ink to permeate all those threads and minute spaces ... you'll see lovely patterns emerging ... Even after all those years, this pen writes so smoothly and beautifully ... whenever I start writing with this pen, my writing takes on a flourish ... I hope you enjoy writing with this pen, Hari 👍

 

Here is my Gama Demonstrator ...

Thanks for writing Jai. Yes the pen’s inked with Montblanc Permanent Blue. Let’s see how it develops. I waited for this pen a very long time. Gem was always out of stock. This time I got it.

Thanks! Is the pelican cartridge friction fit into the section. Is it poasible to use it on other ed pens too?

Hi the pen on the left has a JoWo threaded nib unit fitted. The cartridge fits the end of the nib unit. You can fit a converter too.

Nice Gama. And with that Sheaffer feed you have made it even better.

 

Putting that cartridge in that old Gama pen is a nice touch. It suits the pen better than a converter 👍

This is an off topic question, but I've been curious. So I'm asking this (I don't care how embarrassing this might make me feel...). @hari317sir, What exactly is the pen in your profile photo? With my limited knowledge I cannot find out what make and model it is? I'd love to know about it some more...

Nice pair. That Wality 69t is an underrated starter pen in my opinion 🙏 For under 500rs it's a robust eyedropper.

It's a beautiful pen. Just googled it. Thanks to @Aravind_A_2310 for asking. If out of all your pens you use this one as your avatar pic, it must be special 🙏

Yes, the pen is very special to me. 🙏🏼

Deinked the Gama today after nearly 7 months of continuous use with Montblanc Permanent Blue ink. It cleaned up pretty well with just a rinse. Of course the nib feed were NOT removed for cleaning the pen.

Looks great.
