I think a Deccan Advocate or maybe a Wality 71j

 

Another possibility: Kevin's newly introduced "Dilli" from his own FPR Collection, built to his own design and specifications; in four colours, and four nib choices.

 

I have been curious about that. Non one has posted a review yet. Did you buy it?

I have never ordered from them but I hear good things.

 

+1 I've ordered ink and pens from them twice. Excellent service Very good to deal with.

Just got mine in today. Translucent red with a fine stub nib and a bottle of Camel Scarlet Red ink. I'm currently playing with it. I didn't put the red ink in it though. Kevin and Stephanie kindly threw in a Serwex 162, which is now dedicated to the red ink. Thank you guys.

 

It's a piston filler, so filling was so easy. Nice pen.

Another +1 for FountainPenRevolution!!

I am awaiting delivery of my Dilli.

I'll second that. I buy from them regularly and am now waiting for my Dilli. It will be a long three weeks!

Most recently, I bought a pen for a friend in another country, and had them send it straight to her. Worked like a dream. I'm so looking forward to their stub nibs!

Okay, I'll bite. How about a Ranga with a Sheaffer Imperial nib?

Thanks, TERI. That is a list of pens that I like. I was looking for an Indian pen

that I would like, as well. I have had good experiences with Peyton Pens.

(BTW: No biting here. That's another obsession and website.) :ltcapd:

:headsmack: ...and... :notworthy1: ...and... :doh: ...and... sorry... couldn't find the sarcasm emoticon.

 

:ltcapd: Works pretty good for "sarcasm". These are fountain pens that I own and enjoy using.

I would like to add a few pens of India to my collection. An old wife cost much to feed and

clothe, so my price range would be $75 plus or minus. Any suggestions from the Mumbai membership ?

 

Thanks.

The Peyton Pens from Ranga are great, but technically I wouldn't call them Indian since only the body and section are from India. The rest (nib, feed, and filler) is fitted locally from local parts, and all the cost is added locally.

 

The most remarkable thing about Indian pens is how unbelievably cheap they are in India. Paying Rs50 for a perfectly usable piston fill fountain pen, or Rs300 for a hand-made, full-sized ebonite fountain pen, makes you really wonder about how the world economy works.

I am awaiting delivery of my Dilli.

 

 

I just got mine today - a week and a day after I ordered it. Not bad service from New Delhi, I'd say! :bunny01: Kevin also included a Serwix piston filler in the order!

 

Additionally, does anyone know if you can get the Wality 69LFB from anyone other than Retrodesk, or if Pete is now on an even keel and able to fulfill orders in a timely fashion? I ordered one from him last year, but after a long wait and several e-mails with no response I finally filed a PayPal dispute for a refund and still never had a direct response from him. I bear him no ill will as I know difficulties crop up in life, but I'd like that pen and don't want to wait forever for it.

Unlikely.

 

Yes, I think not much chance in the city centre but maybe the Small Heath suburb as it is an Asian suburb?

Yet another +1 for Fountain Pen Revolution. I ordered an Airmail 444(30% off for the pen of the day) and a $3 fine nib and received a free Serwex 150. I was astounded to get a free gift with such a small order. The order arrived quickly considering in came from India. I will be ordering one of their Dillies soon.

 

Edited for spelling.

Fascinating !

While westerners proceded through piston and sacs and cartridges, fountain penners

of India held to the nineteenth century technology of eyedropper fill. (ei. no filler mechanism) How wonderfully practical !

 

In this direction of exploring, I plan to try the "working" pens of students, teachers,

and civil servants.

 

Eyedropper pens are typical, but three or four milli-litres is a lot of ink. (I already

rotate thirty pens) I would welcome suggestions for limiting the capacity of eyedropper

fill pens.

 

I am older and wiser (wiser ?), now. I don't think that I will be sitting on any of my

Indian fountain pens.

Nothing so complicated. The ED pen is very simple to make for the traditional craftsman. The only materials that he has to buy are are clip, the ebonite rods and the nib, even the feeder used to be hand cut. Lesser materials to buy means lesser cash outflow so he can earn a decent living for his labor even at the cheap selling price of his pens.

      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
