A HR Flat-top by Gem and Co., Madras

[hari317]

Wanted to share some photos of this pen that Gem and Co in Madras made for me. I had wanted a pen with a 14Ct gold nib and Gem made this ED pen for me that looks like a vintage Flattop fitted with a vintage(?) clip and a Sheaffer's Lifetime nib.

I like it. What type of filler is it (lever, eyedropper, etc...)?

[jd50ae]

Very nice Hari.

Ooo, that is sweet! Looks fabulous and with a Sheaffer's nib, it must be a pleasure to write with!

Best,

WOW Hari! It's a wonderful pen! Have you started writing with it?

Have you started writing with it?

 

Thank you! yes, I have filled it up with Waterman's BB ink. Some traces of which are visible in the nib closeup.

[Abhik]

Aah! I missed that ink trace! Enjoy brother!

hell of a beauty... oh that pattern... and that nib

That's a beauty Hari! Very classical, and I particularly like the soft convex contours and the black parentheses around the lovely ripple material.

 

Did you already have the nib and clip? or did Gem & Co hunt them out for you?

Thank you. The credit for this pen goes to Pratap, The clip and the nib were also from him only. He has a huge stockpile, you have to coax him to let go.
