I was looking for some pictures in my album and came across these pictures taken one evening in April 2008 when I was visiting Hyderabad.

 

The RP road, Secunderabad branch of Deccan pen stores:

The gold nibbed Indian beauties. Rare as hen's teeth now.

One of the older employees, I have not seen this gentle man for the last 2-3 years.

How do the Indian pens with gold nibs write? Are they tuned better than their steel-nibbed brethren? Are the nibs hallmarked as well?

Enrico, yes the places are still running and quite well I must add.

The pen in the 4th picture from the top, second from the left, with the "wrapped-around" nib looks very interesting! What is it?

It is a Brahmam pen with a totally handmade 14Ct conical nib. You can see a somewhat similar nib made by another Indian pen maker here: link

Wish I had a B&M like that. The closest thing I have is the "Pen shop" which is rather pricey and I have only bought ink from. Even in terms of ink they only stock the major brands and non of the more interesting specialist ones like Diamine or J Herbin.

      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

      @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
