The very first shot in the thread - is that #12 Rose Red Black Ripple?

It is Rose/Red or Red Ripple Sir.

I may have to resist this one... (I am saying, may...)

the model 5 Ranga is a nice pen, but a big one!

I don't have very big hands, nonetheless the Ranga bamboo standard size for example, is still a good size for me.

The Ranga 5 viceversa is really on the verge of huge...

This is my 5c (the rounded end version) which I bought in a previous group buy.

The colour is mottled brown, a very nice earth colour with black irregular patterns.

The finish is polished, and obviously no clip.

I have the CC version, I dare not think the amout of ink this could hold if used as ED...I have not tried, I was afraid to need to use a full bottle!

 

Like most Rangas in ebonite it's relatively light and very well balanced. Better not try to post it unless you want too poke one of your eyes...

I have a jowo B nib fitted to it which is very smooth.

The model 5 however tends to be slightly too big for me (my preferred size in the Rangas is model 3), I cannot use it for long writing sessions and the size of my handwriting tends to be bigger when I use it! I use it for signatures mostly.

Still it's a fascinating pen.

And I am sure appreciated by those with larger hands.

Here it's next to a 3c olive ripple bakul, you can guess the size especially if you compare the caps...

Just so I have this right, I can only buy an Oliver F27 if I also buy one of the Ranga 5 pens, right?

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Hi,

 

I have no idea how the "solid matte black (bakul)" color is (the photos on Ebay are not very clear).

 

Please, can someone put a photo with a solid matte black fountain pen?

 

Thanks.

      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
