Hero Aerometric (China pen)
Wing Sung Fountain Pen + Ballpoint Pen combo
Myawadi Cartridge/Converter
Unnamed - probably Chelpark from the "C" in the nib.
Yes, those are teeth marks - those were the days before I knew of section pliers or silicone grease. Had to use my teeth!
Armour pen with Hooded Nib
You can see the tines have separated due to amateur, unnecessary flossing using razor blades and anything else that I could use - when the pen would not write. Of course, I could have just cleaned it, but who uses such a simple solution to such a complicated problem.
Reymand pen - local Indian make. Again, you can see the light through the tines.
Dear Sudhir...didn't we all bite our FP sections and blade our nibs...ha ha ha...you got a nice blog on fountain pens going, mate...keep posting...

Hi Jai,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouragement. I do mean to keep this going. My next post is WIP and is about the pens I used through college and early work days.
Cheers

How's Myawadi pen?
ReplyDeleteI have one of Myawadi.The writings super smooth.
DeleteI have been looking for another Myawadi pen in the wild for years now! One of the smoothest pens I have ever owned. I'm up late googling combinations of the letters and came across your blogpost with the same pen I had in school! Amazing! Thank you for the memory!
