I am not crazy about the color (although I generally like green, this shade just does not appeal to me), but I really like the aesthetics otherwise. I wonder if it's available, still, and in other shades/colors. And I would be interested to know what nibs are available with it.

 

Check Peyton Street Pens' website - they have two versions of Bamboo (slim and full-size) in an array of colours with full range of JoWo nibs. No affiliation, just a happy regular ;)

Practice, patience, perseverance

Nice looking pen and impressive penmanship. This Lamy ink is quite spectacular - probably I should try it too.

Lamy Turquoise was my first ink apart from normal Royal Blue.. and i Still love it...

Pen in rotation is Ranga Model 8 one of my most ergonomic pen and this one is in premium yellow black swirl ebonite. And it is inked with J.Herbin Lie De The. This ink has become my favourite brown ink.

Thank you Ak2k5.

 

The blank is Ranga's. Varuna Bamboo was a pen made by Ranga for a british seller, among other models, This was the last pen of this particular ebonite, and model. All the other models are the classical red, green and brown ebonite.

 

I could not tell you the color Ranga calls it. But, seing their site, I believe it is among what they call "premium ebonite".

thanks for the information...a model 4c with that ebonite would have been amazing but unfortunately dont have enough funds to buy a premium fountain pen now... :wacko:

So I understood, pyiushsingh, because Mehandiratta said the same thing when I showed the Ranga 3C (disappeared from the forum, and that I am reposting here). I believe that one was probably one of the last pens made with that blank colour.

 

 

Because my previous posts, concerning many of my indian pens, have disappeared :( , I re-post them.

We will see if they will resist :lol:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
