Ashoka Emblem Brass Pen — Solid Brass, Schmidt Refill

A solid brass pen with India's national emblem cast at the cap. The diplomatic-gift form factor — shiny black body, gold-toned accents, Schmidt German refill.

The Ashoka Emblem Prestige Brass Pen is FountainEarth's diplomatic-grade roller-ball — a solid brass body with a shiny black finish, gold-toned clip and cap ring, and India's national Ashoka emblem cast at the top of the cap. Refillable with the Schmidt German non-dry blue cartridge, the same refill used in luxury German pen brands. For the corporate signature, the government desk, and the gift that needs to carry meaning.

How it is used

A pen for the working day that involves more writing than typing — and the desk where the pen is picked up fifty times a day and put down without ceremony.

• Solid brass body, shiny black finish. Glossy black on solid brass — weighted to carry itself across the page. Gold-toned accents on the clip and cap ring.
• Ashoka emblem cast at the cap. India's national emblem cast in gold-toned relief at the top of the cap — the diplomatic-gift form factor. Cast not printed, so the detail deepens rather than wears off.
• 14 cm length, 1.1 cm barrel. Standard adult-hand proportions; sits comfortably with the cap posted.
• Snap-click cap. Secure metal-on-metal click closure — no rattle in the pocket or briefcase.
• Schmidt German refill. Ships with a Schmidt non-dry roller-ball cartridge in blue ink — the same refill format used by luxury German pen brands. Available at any stationery store that stocks Schmidt refills.
• Ships gift-ready. Every pen ships in the FountainEarth signature gift box — sleeve closure, foiled wordmark. No additional wrapping needed.

Made in Bharat — contract manufactured to specification, finished at our Delhi workshop

FountainEarth is a Made-in-Bharat brand. The brass body is contract manufactured to our specifications at a facility that has produced brass pens for the German luxury market for over two decades. The Ashoka emblem at the cap is cast in zinc alloy with gold-toned plating, finished to register the national emblem cleanly in relief. The finish, the cap mechanism, and the gold-toned treatment are quality-checked at our Delhi workshop before each pen ships. Fountain Earth's catalogue stays small by choice: six brass pens total, each with a single deliberate design idea.

The Schmidt German blue ink in the shipped refill is engineered to write smoothly for around 1,500 metres — roughly 8–10 weeks of daily note-taking — before the cartridge needs replacing. Refills are widely available at stationery stores stocking Schmidt refills, on Amazon India, at William Penn, or direct from FountainEarth.

How to care for the pen:

• Wipe occasionally with a soft dry cloth. No chemical cleaners.
• Store in the FountainEarth gift box between heavy use, or any soft cloth pouch.
• When the cartridge runs dry, unscrew the rear barrel, slide the old refill out, slide the new refill in, and screw the barrel back on.
• Avoid extreme heat (closed cars in summer) — brass is durable but ink can dry faster in heat.

Every pen carries a 1-Year Warranty. The warranty covers material and craftsmanship defects in the first year — the cap mechanism, the threading, the finish. If a component fails after long use or accidental damage, write to support@fountainearth.com for a quote — replacement component charged at the time of repair, no labour charge.

Frequently asked questions

What refill does it use, and where can I buy them?
The pen uses the Schmidt German roller-ball refill in blue ink — the same refill format used by luxury German pen brands. Schmidt refills are NOT compatible with standard G2-format pens; they are a separate proprietary format. Refills are available at any stationery store that stocks Schmidt refills, online at Amazon India or William Penn, or directly from support@fountainearth.com. Specify "Schmidt German roller-ball refill, blue" when buying.

Is the gold-toned finish on the accents plated?
Yes. The clip and cap ring are solid zinc alloy with industrial-grade gold-toned plating, engineered for years of normal daily use. The main pen body is solid brass — the finish is part of the brass treatment, not a separate coating.

Is this a fountain pen?
No — it's a roller-ball pen with a fountain-pen weight. The Schmidt non-dry roller-ball cartridge gives the smooth ink flow of a fountain pen with the dry-time and refill-ease of a ballpoint. Best of both formats for daily use.

Is FountainEarth the same as Fountain Earth?
Yes. Same brand, same workshop. FountainEarth is the compound brand mark; Fountain Earth is the spaced form we use in legal and trade contexts.

Does it come gift-ready?
Yes. Every piece ships in the FountainEarth signature gift box — sleeve closure, foiled with the brand wordmark. Suitable for gifting without extra wrapping. For corporate orders we have two tiers: plain corporate orders start at a 10-unit minimum; custom-branded orders (gift box co-branding, monogramming) start at a 25-unit minimum, with a typical 4–5 week turnaround.
