In my current rotation are a Varuna Gajendra (EF steel nib) in green swirl ebonite, filled with Camlin Camel Royal Blue, and an Airmail 77P filled with Noodler's Q'Ternity.

 

This pen is on the way, but I have no idea who the maker is:

Ratnamson 302.

I have visconti brown ink in it.

I asked for a medium sized nib.

Initial Impressions

  • Very smooth writer.
  • The finish of the pen is flawless.
  • It puts down a nice wet medium line for me.
  • Its a well balanced pen and its light for its size.
  • I am having some flow problems, it dries out on slightly faster writing.

I am using my Asa Galactic with Akkerman Shocking Blue in it. Plus a small purple Click with a transparent barrel that I got from Asapens as a bonus; it holds a mix of Ottoman Azure (Noodler's) and Diamine Majestic Blue. No pictures - everyone's seen the Galactic, and the Click is not so special to look at. But it is a nice writer.

Wonderful, nice to see a gold nibbed 302. I had some flow issues with my Ratnamson 42P, they requested that I send it back for them to have a look, it came back writing perfectly.

 

Did you get the nib personalised with your name/initials? The finish looks perfect.

The pen you are waiting for is made by Kim. It looks like Kim Nova but the clip is not the Nova one.

 

Maybe S-K can be of some help.

Hari,

 

Thank you for the advise, I have contacted Mr.Ramanamurty and waiting to hear back. I will send it back to them to have a look.

 

Yes, I requested him to put my name on the nib in Telugu.

 

A close look at the nib.

nice picture. Fully hand made 14Ct nib, nice engraving. I suggest you call them on the phone. It will be faster and you can communicate accurately in Telugu.

Looking at a post from Hari from 2011, it's known as a Kim and Co. "Small."

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/203865-kim-and-co-pens/?do=findComment&comment=2096174

 

Mohan's post from 2013 supports this as a "Small."

My "Small" arrived in today's mail, ten days transit time from Palakkad to Dan Diego, with a couple of days sitting in New Jersey. A very solid pen, indeed, and it came with an extra nib. eBay seller krishnapens will be getting repeat business from me, I think.

 

A Ranga 2C is on its way, and a friend of my wife will be acquiring some Ratnam pens for me soon. :-)

Enjoy your Kim, Chuthulhu.

 

Yes, Krishnapens is a great seller, his pens are flawless, and the nibs smothed beautifully. You are right to stick to him.

 

Today I am using my Green Bauna costum made by Sree (S-K)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
