For buying Camlin and other Cheap Indian Pens recently I have used two sites

 

http://www.offimart.com/

http://penhouse.in

 

Ordered from Offimart Camlin 22R Camlin 2R and Camlin 36 from Offimart .Got it delivered in 3-4 days to Calcutta with a very nominal Postal Charge Rs 40.

 

Camlin 22R 37

Camlin 2R 32

Camlin 36 55

Postal 40

Total Rs 164

 

Offimart sells only Indian pens (except Lamy) . Pensouse sells Jinhao Baoer Hero and others also .

The prices are much cheaper than Ebay ,Amazon , Flipkart or many.

 

I am not reviewing these pen as lots are available.The best among these is Camlin 36.

Be Aware Of This Pen

 

Few days ago i bought a beautiful looking pen sold by Flipkart in the name Jinhao Dragon. (Rs 300-340) . I bought that and surprisingly ,when i received it i found the pens body is a cheap metal body covered by a rexin skin fixed by glue . All these dragons engravings are embossed in the rexin skin . The Rexin skin tried to come out and a cheap white metal body came out very soon after using it for few minutes . I have never seen such an ugly thing from Jinhao brand. Nib is worst , pen balance is bad. Flipkart was ready to take it back but since i had a tour and i live in my house alone i could not return this.

 

This pen is being sold in the name Dragons Offspring , Dragon or dragons son in many online

sites . Be aware of it.There are costly versions of Dragons Son with full metallic body and dragons engraved on it beautifully sold in Amazon Usa and many foreign sites. I believe the rexined ones are fake pens.

 

Putting the Photo here with my new Cheap Camlin pens behind.

      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
