I have taken few shots of two Ratnam pens. MB Generation with EF nib and Pelikan M401 (honey) are placed for size comparison purposes.
Comments please!
Thanks,
Abhik.

Very nice pens! I most admire that you can see the workmanship (hand tooling) that went into each pen's creation. Each, therefore, is unique.

Might I ask: how do the Ratnam pens write? Smoothly?

Writing quality I forgot to mention! After initial problem of drying up of No.32, which I discussed in another forum, now writes flawless! F nib writes like western F & wetness 7/10. Little No:15 did not have any problem! Writes like Asian F nibs with wetness of say 5.5/10!
Thanks.

They look very nice and crafty. Please keep us posted on performance, out of the mill Fp'ns are always really interesting. Nice pics, too.

newtrane, I ordered my pens through an advertisement by a fellow FPN er Vikal Ruperelia. He order and send it to me. There is a thread on Ratnam pens in Professional Pen services section.
I also read another FPN member from Mumbai Hari, helped some one to get Ratnam pens in US. You can always Pm him! Is not it Hari?
Thanks for your interest!

Very attractive Indian pens of the old school, I see! Are they cartridge pens? How much do they cost? Thanks for sharing!!
