Some pictures of the Maverick, a very inexpensive Piston filler made by an Indian company called Chelpark. Chelpark is primarily an ink manufacturing company.

The nib is GP Stainless steel and the feeder is Ebonite.

 

Chelpark pens are very hard to come by even here in Mumbai, I recently came across a few of these pens in one of my regular shops here. Chelpark manages to make this nice and sturdy piston filler pen available for around 0.7 USD retail. Other pens in the Chelpark line up are the Moti a piston filler and the Antik an ED filler both of which I have reviewed in the reviews section.

 

Comments are welcome.

Hi Hari...I like this particular shade of blue of the pen...and I like the maverick engraved on the cap band...good looking pen...when you first reviewed Moti, I thought it was a whim of an ink maker to have a pen in their ink stable...it is really cool that Chelpark has more FP models (3 FP models identified so far!!)...good work, Hari...pitchers look cool...and thanks for bringing them to our notice...I won't ask the other usual question...if I ask, you wont 'spare' me...ha ha ha...

 

Regards,

 

Jai

Hi hari

Another great find!

 

I have a nice selection of the Chelpark inks.

The Black is very nice as is the Green.

I'd compare them,albeit with my limited exposure, to Aurora Black and MB Racing Green.

 

Thanks for sharing these photos.

 

Steve

I like Chelpark Royal Blue, Ruby Red and Emerald Green. You must also try Camlin Royal Blue and Crimson Violet ink.

      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..

      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
