Good review of a nice pen, and great pictures!

I could see that this nib is one I have some spares of, and I just mounted one in my Swarna because it's nib tips broke due to corrosion...

I'm surprised you find the nib springy - and I can see it in the writing sample too - because mine is quite stiff.

The colors of your pen are beautiful, and that cap... Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the appreciation! I wondered about the springiness too when i first bought it because not only the airmails but most of the Indian nibs are expected to be stiff and not to show line variation. However, this required some pressure to bring out the line variation, which would not be comfortable for much longer.

I wanted to buy this pen. Its so beautiful. But by the time I made up my mind I had already purchased so many pens from ASApens.in that I was hardly left with a penny. :) . Their services are excellent. Mr. Subramaniam is the kind of person who leaves no stone unturned to satisfy his customers.

 

Purchasing a fountain pen is always a pleasure. Purchasing from him appears more pleasurable...

Haha! I can relate to that feeling mohit ji. :D But we can always save up the money for a good FP in some time. ;) And yes ofcourse, Thumbs-up for Mr. Subramaninam! He is a boon to the FP community.

Very nice looking FP. This is a brand I've not heard of, being a typically sheltered American.

 

I shall look into it forthwith!

 

Nice review and thanks for the reference to Mr. Subramaninam's company.

Sir, why don't you see Oliver F27. I have used it and Mr. Cjpandya and I have both written a review of the pen. If you liked the looks of this pen you would adore the looks of that one. Mr pandya calls his pen Molten sky and I call mine 'Flamboyance par excellence' :)

Well, after reading a bit about the Airmail company and looking through their products I ordered up a few to try.

 

On the way from FPR are a 69LG, a 77RD and a 58SL. Looking forward to giving them a try. I'll certainly post reviews of them when they arrive.

 

@mrmohitmishra

I did look at the Oliver F27, but sadly they are out of stock in the red. For me the fluorescents are just a bit too flamboyant, although beautiful to look at.

I certainly wasn't implying anything!

I am sure Mr. Mohit was just clarifying it in respect to his own previous comment dear Sir. No hard feelings. :D Thanks a lot for your comment and the valuable input on FPR. Much appreciated! :)

Thanks a lot for your appreciation of the review Mr. Jack. I hope you find the the pens you ordered to your liking. And even if you don't, most wality pens are great to play around with and tinker to your personal tastes! Enjoy! :) Looking forward to your review for the pens.

Thanks a lot for your regular and positive contribution Mr. Mohit! It keeps the posts alive! :) I have a query about the ASA athlete you reviewed. Check out your post for the same.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
