Hi , guys this is Dr.soumya Mukherjee , I had been reading this forum for quite a few days now .. I have always liked fountain pens but never really took seriously . But in the last six months I have grown fond of fountain pens .. As a new user I would like to know with which pens I start my writing .. My budget is initially 500 as I am starting to check the waters .. I have camlin inks and I ordered 5 colored inks from KRISHNA INKS which sells via eBay .. I mainly use branded flair ,montex and camlin mini pens as for now .. But I would like to get some suggestions about my first good pen and ink for some better experience.. I am from Kolkata and work in Medical college so very near to college street .. Some good shops for suggestion would be welcomed as well .. Thank you all in advance for the help ..

I would suggest the Camlin Trinity. As for inks Camlin and Bril inks are the best available readily. I have never tried Krishna inks so I cannot comment.

Watches + fountain pens = heaven! :wub:

Thank you .. I will get myself camlin mini and trinity tomorrow if possible.. Krishna inks promise to be good ,its been shipped today .. Will try to post a review after I get how I feel about the inks .. As for brill I tried ordering a few but 500 minimum that would be huge number of inks .. Like lifetime supply .. And I don't know what else I can buy from them online .. :-p

Camlin Elegante is far better than Trinity, try it without any hesitation..Camlin 47 is also a nice pen You may find some old stock in Calcutta Pen Hospital ( 8 Chowringhee Road), He keeps Wality/Airmail pens also but depends on the current stock.Seller's name is Riyaz & this mobile No. is- 9831088650. Call him before you go. Few days before he had some Wality 69 EB(ebonite) in stock but he doesn't know the model name.Some good reviews of Wality pens are here in FPN. So just get a clear idea before you go there.

There is another good pen shop which is near Kolkata High court. Address:- 7, Kiranshankar Roy Road. The pen Seller's name is Uttam Biswas. Ph- 9830091385.He has an outstanding stock of vintage pens but I had found a Chelpark Sona and Pilot 78 g in a very reasonable rate.

You can find some new Sulekha ink in there outlet which is the next stop to Jadavpur 8b bustand. Though it has turned into a departmental store now but still you will find inks there. Brown, Shocking pink and turquoise blue is really good.

Don't go to College Pen Forum, 54/9 College Street. because he asks too much prices for every pen.

Hope this may help you, if you need anything else PM me.

You can ask others in your area if they want some inks. That way you can easily get the 500rs. minimum rate.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
