Indian pens like the Rajan 'Brown Speckled' are obtained via suppliers like Andy's Pens (UK) and convince with appropriate value; shipping from England usually takes a few days. The supplied steel nib (F) is rigid, rather inflexible and can scratch a bit at first but can be smoothed with fine sandpaper. Workmanship weaknesses like broken-out spots at the hard-rubber clip transition can also be camouflaged with sandpaper. A known weakness of older Indian models is the tendency to 'ink soup' (ink leak in the cap area), which can be regarded as an essential knockout criterion. Overall these pens are suitable for experiment-friendly collectors who can live with smaller reworkings.
