Welcome!

TIL Eyas means a nestling hawk. Gama Hawk makes sense now.

Saw it now on their website. I had missed the NOS from ASA Pens some years back. When I saw it in 2023, did not wait. 

 

The new is slightly different with gold band at the bottom of the barrel instead of the red and the top finial is also a bit different. 

Missed the NOS. how is the new Beena Lincoln?

Currently inked: Mohan Jumbo

 

It's an eyedropper pen with approx 8ml ink capacity, which is the highest capacity among all my eyedropper pens.

 

 

this is big and beautiful. 8 ml is huge capacity.

Yes, I know some who don't like the Kim Clip. Dr.Sreekumar from Krishna pens has launched Krishna ACR Jumbo pens this year. You might like the clip and polishing on those 🙂 Will share couple of pics below. But the waiting list is too long for these pens and they are produced in small quantities, so it'll take one time to get these pens via his WhatsApp group. 

 

 

 

Have shared more pics and detailed dimensions of that Woodex pen in this post below. You can check it out if interested 👍

 

 

the finish is so smooth and beautiful

the nib is so beautiful. Among all the boring nibs, glad that the manufacturers have thought to make it so adorable..

FPN is a boon to anyone who is interested in these Indian handmade pens 🙂 I owe a lot to it and to everyone who shares their knowledge freely here.

 

There are various Indian pen groups on FB/Telegram/WhatsApp as well where we discuss Indian pens. But it can get quite overwhelming at times in going through various groups, and these groups often go off-topic in comparison to our FPN.

completely agree. This has been a great learning experience.

The oldest Kim ACR Jumbo pen in my collection. These older Kim Jumbos were built like a tank and are always a joy to write with.

 

 

green swirls in ebonite are so good. no wonder i see them more here.

So many comments at once 🙂

 

I love that Krishna Nib too. Hope that someday they make it available for purchase to everyone on their website.

 

I forgot what I read about those Star clips. They recently made this exact design pen with a different clip.

Yes, all the components are available. Kw feed and nib from kw, Oliver through penhouse.in or amazon.in. I bought the pen from a local store, then transplanted the nib and feed.
