I
should have written about these two Deccan models long back … I think it was
nearly four years ago, or maybe five years ago, that I found these two models
at Deccan…I had gone there on one of those routine visits and found these...the
reason I did not showcase these was maybe because there was another pen which
had caught my fancy and I had written about that…maybe the Deccan Retro
Series…I am not sure…
So…what
made me pick up these models was this feeling that they looked like smaller and
slimmer versions of the Advocate…these were smaller than the Advocate Jr… and I
had felt that if these models took off then those FP enthusiasts who found the
Advocate too big, but liked the looks, might go for one of these… I still do
not know whether this was the first and only batch of these models or whether
there were some earlier…but, I haven’t seen these models since…
They
have the similar shape as the Advocate…the slimmest ones have the cap jewel
almost halved…the cap band is still there…the original ball clip seen in the
black Advocate and Advocate Junior in the group photo at the end, has given way
to the tear-drop clip…I bought three, the bigger one in brown and the two
smaller ones in green and black…the green one has a black cap jewel… all three
pens have the Ambitious nibs and the feeders have that vertical groove on the
middle, just like the earlier big Advocates…
In the
last photo, the group photo, one can see the Advocate, the Advocate Jr., the
Advocate Minor Sr. and the Advocate Minor Jr.…
