I'm just a little confused, is this a group buy for only the Ranga 5, or for both the Ranga 5 and Ranga 3? If the Ranga 3 is included could you also let us know how much it would be? Thank you in advance.

There is a typo on the title line for the German nib unit versions. Model 3, rather than the intended Model 5.

For the ED versions, would the Ambitious 35 and 40 mm nib versions share a common section and feed?

 

Thanks

Thank you for organising another great GB Vaibhav. Having done some research I will not be taking part as the Model 5 is just too big for my hand. I can whole heartedly endorse the high quality of Ranga Pens and encourage all interested posters to take part in the GB. The quality is outstanding.

Excuse me, Vaibhav, I'm thinking that perhaps my last post has been left unnoticed... Please, could you also confirm that you have taken note of it?

Thank you very much!

 

I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear before... This is my first group buy, so I would like to do everything OK. :) Thank you for organising this.

 

This is also my first pen from India! And also my first ebonite pen. The premium ones seem really wonderful in the photos and everyone speaks good things about their quality. I can barely wait to get that black/yellow one!

The photo for Regular Ebonite #1 is not at all what I expected from the words "mottled brown"!

 

Other photos of mottled brown Ranga pens (such as on the Peyton Street Pens site) show a mixture of brown and black, and the brown color looks "warmer" and less green than the color in the first photo.

 

Mr. Kandan, can you confirm whether or not the photo shows what one can expect if mottled brown is ordered? Does this stock of mottled brown normally include a more even balance of brown and black, and is the brown color the same as is typically found in the brown ripple? I realize there is always variation in this material, but if the color is truly as is shown in the photo, I wonder if I should opt for the brown ripple or an entirely different color.

 

Can anyone with firsthand experience of mottled brown and brown ripple Ranga pens help me figure out what to expect? Also does anyone have an opinion of mottled brown in the bakul finish rather than the polished version?

 

Thank you to all who can share their opinions and impressions!

 

Mark

      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
