What Indian Pens Are You Using Today?

[mhguda]

I have a bottle of the old formula, before all the reformulations, and I can confirm this ink is not pinkish at all. It is a dark ink with a rose undertone.

[fountainpagan]

That is the one I have too, Mhguda, the old version.

But I had seen the new formula one, and had found it was very pink.

Now, gopool's one doesn't seem to be the old formula, but it doesn't look as pink as the new one, hence my wondering about it. I am lost

[mhguda]

There was some confusion because after the first reformulation there seems to have been at least one other... There were some threads dedicated to this, I forget if it was 2014 or 2015. So if you;re confused, you are far from alone, fountainpagan!

[gopool]

I think this is the reformulated version because I recently acquired it. It is quite pink with a fine nib, but with a wide or flex nib the shading makes up for that.```

Today I inked couple of airmail 69Ts ( marbled red and marbled Violet) with daytone Blue-black ink and both are writing smooth and wet. So I will be using these for next few months.

Last night I replaced the stock ebonite feed on my Ranga Bamboo with a No Nonsense feed and inked it up with Noodler's Bay State Blue. So far, it's a dream to write with.

Lovely pen! I have looked at the Ranga Bamboo before - will have to add it to the list of pens from India I want to add to my collection.

Airmail 58C - refitted with a Fountain Pen Network 1.0 stub, and a standard 5.1 ebonite feed. My computer camera, nor my small digital camera is giving me a clear picture. However, here is my review of this pen. I purchased the pen from Fountain Pen Network, and I picked it up from the Post Office this afternoon. The Airmail 58C looks like the Wality 70, except it is somewhat larger, making it a bit weightier.

 

Airmail Eyedropper - 58C. Inked with Chesterfield Rose. Originally the pen came with an Airmail fine nib, however, I prefer broad or stub nibs. The 1.0 stub writes like a real broad, and it writes very smooth & wet. The nib did not require any smoothing or tuning. The pen has ink windows that surround the barrel. Green swirled/mottled plastic body and cap, which has a smell similar to an Ahab, however, much less pungent and hardly noticeable. Clip was snug. The cap has a large metal band around it, giving it its own unique character. The metal band gives the cap some weight so that it does not feel too light when posted. When posted it is not top heavy, and gives a nice balance when writing.

 

Cost: $14 - for the pen 13 cm. capped

3 - for the standard 5.1 ebonite feed 15.7 cm posted

7 - for the 1.0 stub nib 18 g. with ink

A stethoscope & fountain pen combination! The cardiologist I worked for purchased my first fountain pen - Waterman Phileas with a medium nib, which I still have in my collection. It now has a broad nib.
