Thank you so much 🙏 I myself came to know about such pens only because of FPN. There are tons of posts on old Indian pens here, which I have devoured like crazy over the years.

Great. Nice you got to have one of Brahmam. The top finial looks brownish? Due to the light?

Thank you. Yes, the top part, and the barrel end also to some extent, have got oxidised.

Lovely pen. A gem of a pen. The trims are set like a high end factory made pen

For this week I have inked the new PLP Vivriti that was reviewed here. Syahi Sky Blue is the ink to go with it.

Being clipless, I need to carry it in a pouch. PLP provided the standard felt pouch that helps with that.

Inked the next PLP. Premium Acrylic in a mixed colour.  A near Jumbo ED pen but lighter than it's cousin Vivriti above. Same nib and feed and with a clip. I did heat set the feed and nib. Perhaps due to that it writes a bit drier. Using Camlin blue (evaporated naturally to half the volume) mixed with Bril Violet. Yet to see the effect of mixing. Takes about 4.5ml ink.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
