I wish they had the Gama in a Jr. size for smaller hands. I have a Treveni Jr. Ebonite and love that pen.

I see the Gama Popular. Unfortunately it is currently out of stock. I don't see the Gama Airborne listed. A few days ago I ordered the Treveni Jr acrylic - Giraffe. Am waiting for that to arrive.

It is brilliant.

Many thanks to both Vaibhav (for showing the pen in the first place) and to Mr S.( for making such a wonderful pen)

This is my first Indian pen, but I don't think it will be the last. :D

My Indian pen and ink combination today is the Fosfor Heather made with Conway Stewart Heather material, silver trims and Bock 250 Titanium nib. The pen has been designed by your truly. Ink is Dayatone Blue Black.

I love this FP even more so than the pen you reviewed in December. Because of how I hold my pens, I do not like sharp steps on a pen barrel/section. Really like the clip and fittings. I also love the cap top design. You've got another winner. I would love to have this design made for my next Indian pen. So far I have 2, and I am seriously contemplating my 3rd one very, very soon. I'm currently looking at the ASA Rainbow 3-in-1 Acrylic or a Ranga Eye Dropper Acrylic. I prefer 1.1 stubs, so on the ASA I can exchange the #6 nib with a Goulet stub. For sure this pen has my interest!!!

I agree! A great design. I also like the section. The trim looks really pretty. I wonder if they made the clip and cap rings, too?

Oh Wow :puddle: That's just beautiful. A lot of effort must have gone into it. How does it write . A writing sample please

Thank you Rohit and Akustyk for your encouragement. I just received the pen this Monday and have just started using it. Please give me a month or so to provide an honest unbiased review. I fully intend to review it properly just like I have done a few others.

 

The clip, rings and the trim are all made of solid sterling silver and should oxidize equally well to match with the Titanium nib colour.

 

So far the nib has been a delight to write with.

Hi Helen,

 

I had reviewed Azaadi and Islander in December so I am not sure which one you are referring to. All three pens (Islander, Azaadi and Heather) have pretty long sections or 20mm-25mm each and I would be very very surprised if the step were to pose any challenge whatsoever.

 

For 1.1 stub, you don't need to do an aftermarket job and instead directly order a 1.1 Jowo nib from ASA. Its the same OEM which Goulet uses for their nibs. Instead of a Rainbow which is a small pen, may I humbly suggest that you try out an Azaadi with a 1.1 stub nib.

 

Regards,

It was the Islander review I read very early this morning. I also checked out the ASA Genius ebonite, and that stopped me from purchasing the Rainbow. I sent an email to Mr. Subramaniam regarding a JOWO section with converter, and a 1.1 stub for the ASA Genius. I am waiting to hear what that additional cost will be. I found I love the look of the shiny black ebonite pen, though I already have two ebonites (Noodler's & Treveni, Jr). My hands are small (being only 5 ft. tall), so pens too long are a bit much. The girth of the Jinhao X750 & X450 section have proven to be very comfortable for me, allowing me to write for a protracted period of time. I will go back and look at the Azaadi.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
