Subbu,

That is one extensive set of imagery on the pen. Glad to have someone interpret and explain the iconography. I enjoy the wide center band, and the clip is elegant. Thank you.

The iconography is based on Lord venkateswara, a hindu deity. The temple of lord venkateswara is the most visited religious shrine in the world, and also one of the richest religious institutions. The temple is located in south india, on a hill called tirumala. The 3 symbols belong to him. There is a discus on the left - called the “sudarshana chakra” - which represents the wheel of time (time is considered cyclic in hindu mythology). The conch (panchajanya) represents a cosmic sound, which represents creation.  The central symbol is the 3 pronged tilak...representing birth, life and death all converging together. Assembled together, these symbols mean that he is the absolute master of both space and time.... birth, human existence and death are simply a manifestation of his will. 

     This would be a very symbolic pen for Hindus.

      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
