Progress Bullet - Mini Fountain Pen

[sajiskumar]

Hi there,

I have some unusually small fountain pens, which were kept in my drawers for some time and now started using them. Here is the first one - Progress Bullet.

It is a very small eyedropper fountain pen from a discontinued Indian brand called Progress. It has a semi-hooded nib and gold plated fittings (clip and cap band) with a GP nib. The pen writes very smooth with its folded/butterfly nib (no iridium point tipping). The nib is engraved “Platinum Easy Flow Point (BOSS)
