I somehow could never lay my hands on satisfactory examples of this pen. Recently Shrujaya informed me that Deccan had a few white ones available from their latest lot and after many efforts and trips taken by him to Deccan, i was able to get these pens for my collection. Thanks Jai.

The Masterpieces are huge pens. the White and bluish green pens are made out of some kind of resin and both are fitted with self filling Squeeze fillers.

 

The resin MPs measure 6 1/2 inch capped, 6 inch open, and a whopping 7 3/4 inch posted. OTOH the BHR MPs measure 6 1/4 inches capped, 5 3/4 inch open, and 7 1/2 inches posted.

 

Cheers!

Nice looking pens Hari. How reliable is the squeeze filler? and approximate capacity? The colored ones look like they dwarf the black MP (although from measurements not as much as the pic makes it look like) You have got some nice looking Deccans. I like that long Author you have detailed in the other thread as well. Enjoy in good health.

Thanks!

 

The major difference is in the diameters. I was feeling too lazy yesterday to take out the calipers to post the measurements. Qualitatively I feel the Deccan implementation of the squeeze filler holds a good quantity of ink.

Thanks for this, Hari. Nice looking pens! I especially like this white and the blue. Do you think Deccan will ever produce pens with nibs in any size other than medium? I don't need 18kt or anything but I'd love to see a broad or stub nib offered on some of these lovely Indian pens.

 

Best regards,

Richard

Dear Richard, Broad nibs or stubs look impossible at the moment. The nibs are all made in India. The minimum order quantities demanded are very huge of the order of 10,000nibs. The only grace is that nibs are quite inexpensive in such quantities but it is still a significant investment. That too, I am not sure if the couple of nib manufactures who still remain, are really equipped to manufacture seriously wide tipped nibs. It will also involve import (and again support the MOQ)of the wider tipping balls from the sole supplier in Germany....

Thanks Hari. After all the write ups and photography you are entitled to a little laziness.

Fantastic pictures!

 

I have the one in blue-green, but white looks better. And yes, the pens are huge, bigger than the Danitrio Densho. I was told they are made of acrylic, but it could be another type of resin.

 

The pen is very well-made; being constructed by hand, there are some imperfections, but they simply add to the character of the pen. I wish, though, that they had some choice regarding nibs.

 

Well done, Deccan.

The blue-green is a lovely colour; not quite teal, from the photos, as it seems a little lighter and with more turquoise in the mix than the teal Parkers I have. A stunning line-up.

 

Hyderabad is rapidly climbing up my list of destinations to visit next time I'm in India... I hear the food is not bad either!
