Will you be doing any more group buys featuring the smaller style pens?

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.

Decided I couldn't wait for another group buy of model 3 and that the blue orange green swirl would look good in a big pen, so have submitted a form.

 

Thank you for organising these.

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

Just put in an order for the the orange/blue/green swirl ebonite as well! I had the hardest time trying to decide between all the different ebonites.

What's the difference between the section diameter between this and the model 3?

They rotate through the group buys every few months so yes they probably will.

I'm pretty new around here, but I'm really liking this community so far! The prospect of future group buys is really exciting!

Just out of curiosity, would one of you (@mehandiratta or @mpkandan) be happy to tell us the final number of pens ordered when the group buy is complete? Thanks!

Currently we have reached 84 nos.

 

Wow, that's pretty impressive - thanks for letting us know! These group buys are pretty good - I think this is my 3rd with Ranga, and 4th overall...

 

Has Mr Kandan started shipping pens out yet, or is that still a little way off? [Very keen to see mine arrive...]

Dear All,

 

We have started shipping the pens. I expect most of the pens would be shipped by 4th March.

I'm new here and this fountain pen looks interesting. I got a few questions about the eyedropper version.

 

1) Can a standard international converter fit into the eyedropper version?

2) Can the nib and feed be easily removed by pulling like a Jinhao x750? If so, could the nib be replaced with a Jinhao nib?(this is what I plan on doing).

3) Does the pen need to be converted to an eyedropper by placing an O-ring and silicone grease?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir,

 

Thanks . Eyedropper pen cannot converted to take Converter. It is Friction fit nib for Eyedropper pen and Screw in nib for 3 in 1 Mechanism pens. O Ring is not needed. Silicon Grease are applied by default for all the pens.

It's futile to try and not buy another one in a different color ebonite. I already see another ebonite I HAVE to have 😍

      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
