ASA – Galactic Jumbo Demonstrator

ASA – Galactic was my first demonstrator. I never liked the demonstrators but i decided to go ahead with the purchase and amazingly I was the first one to buy this. Following is my review of the pen.

Design & Build:

My first demonstrator is a jumbo sized pen which has a fogged finish. The pen looks like what it is named “Galactic”

The real beauty comes out when you ink up this pen. Aaaaah so beautiful. I have suddenly started liking the demonstrators. The pen is beautifully engraved with company logo on the barrel and also my name is engraved on the cap (Special thanks to Mr. Subramaniam). Made out of acrylic the barrel is in fog finish with crystal clear bottom and screw in crystal top at the cap.

Filled with ink.

Uncapped Pen with my Name engraved on Cap

The grip section is again made of acrylic resin and i love the way the it shows ink spread out unevenly. It has a big nib which complements the pen perfectly.

Clear Crystal Top and Bottom

Built wise i believe it needs certain care as this is a acrylic pen.

Amazing photos and a very good review! Thanks for sharing! What was the cost of name engraving?

Rs. 50 for engraving....

That's sharp! Also, not a Demonstrator lover, but that one, including the engraving on the cap is really nice. Nice review also and the pictures are nearly breathtaking. Thanks

Mine arrived today, what a wonderful pen, and nice to see the really fine threads holding the section on, takes ages to screw back together but that will keep the ink from flowing out that way.

 

The product name engraving has changed a little but not by much, but now tells you the pen is made in India.

 

It writes wonderfully and swallowed up a whole 5ml sample vial of Diamine Tyrian Purple I had on my desk. By the time I primed the feed it could have taken at least another 1ml.

 

it will be going to work with me tomorrow and I will see how well it puts up with working in my warm overly stuffy office.

 

Thank you again for giving me a new pen to try, this one is great and will be fighting with my pair of F27 to see who gets written with most.

I never liked demonstrators before this one... I really love the feel of ink sloshing in this one...

I love the Galactic, it's a lovely wet writer and it is helping to burn through my ink samples (Goulets Ink Drop program).

This truly is a gorgeous pen. I have steered away from eyedroppers before now but this is something I have to own. Thank you for the review!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
