the acrylic ones. Those were the only versions available when I bought my examples. Of course things seem to have changed or evolved quite a bit in the meanwhile. Do all authors come with this clip shown by SBP now?

The photos of acrylic Authors that I was shown had a different clip. The pics of Ebonite Authors as well as Advocates that I was shown had clips similar to the one I have.

That does look like a nice pen. And ebonite has such a nice warmth to it.

What's the size (length, girth) and weight? I have to use smaller size pens because I have girly hands, and too big and heavy isn't comfortable. Weight-wise, the limit is 28 grams capped or posted (which is the weight of the TWSBI 580-AL and 580-ALR, and is now my benchmark for weight limit on pens).

Thank you, Ruth... The dimensions are as follows:

 

Length (capped) = 14.7 cm

Length (uncapped) = 12.6 cm

Length (posted) = 17.2 cm

Cap alone = 6.2 cm

 

Girth of cap (top, closed portion) = 1.2 cm

Girth of cap (bottom, open portion) = 1.5 cm

Girth of End of barrel = 1.1 cm.

 

Sorry, no weight; since I do not have a weighing equipment...

Were you referring to ebonite authors or all authors? The acrylics still cost quite a bit (Rs. 6,000 IIRC), but they charge a very reasonable price for the ebonites.

 

I have one of these red ebonites, very nicely finished. The size seems to have gotten a bit larger as well.

 

The cost for Acrylic Author was quoted to be Rs. 4750.

It also comes in colorful designs. I am linking the picture that was sent to me.

I hope I am not violating any rules or causing harm to anybody (especially the manufacturer) by openly mentioning prices. I guess it is understood that prices and products may change any time.

I also do not have any affiliation to promote Deccan pens.

But I must say I am very happy to deal with them - their customer service is excellent over phone and whatsapp. I will certainly be visiting their store when I visit Hyderabad. And also I am reasonably certain that I will buy more pens from them :)

By the way, they have matt-finish red Advocates as well.

Thanks for sharing. Whats their WhatsApp no?

It might be a nice idea to add the number in contacts of manufacturers post, would help many that way.

Deccan pen stores also has Deccan Masterpiece in Acrylic. They now use Kanwrite nibs instead of Ambitious ones.

Personally I liked the ebonite model better.

They are different. The white one was completely white. There were other colors also (e.g. brown, black etc)

I will try to get some pictures when I go there this weekend.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
