Deccan Ebonite Pens - Diplomat

[returnofpenguy]

Sometime last year, I was introduced to Deccan pens through this forum, primariliy by watching pictures and reviewes posted by Hari and Shrujaya. Since then I was in search for these pens. The problem is that they do not yet have website, however, I got a phone number for one of their shops in Hydrabad, India from Rahul on this forum. Thanks Rahul.

 

After talking to the owner of the shop the first time, he appointed one on his nephew, Farukh, to help me out on my order. He was extremely helpful in processing my order and helping me selecting my pens. Since he was out of stock on the pens that I was looking for, pens were ordered. I was ordering pens for myself as well as for my friend. We both wanted engraving on our pens, so there was another delay in the work. After a month pens were ready. Then problem was to bring them here. He was ready to mail, but I wanted to be safe. One of my class mates from MBA school is from Hydrabad, and his family was returning back from India. He managed to pay for the pens and bring them here. Finally after a few months, I received my pens in the month of March.

 

It took me a while to try them all and get their pictures. Today I got few minutes and sunny day to get some light in my room for better pictures. I am posting each pen and its pictures individually.

 

I am missing my Deccan Masterpiece and another pen, which are at home. I will post their pictures next time.

Here is Deccan Diplomat. This is Deccan's medium size pen with a converter. The converter is a vaccumatic. This is the only pen of which cap snaps lock, rather than twist open because of threads. It's length is slightly longer than a medium size pen, but fits well in my hand. It is made out of hard rubber (ebonite) and it is very light in weight. The gold clip goes well with its two town nib.
