[Five of these were FPN Group Buy pens; the other two (3rd from top and very bottom) came via an online Australian retailer...]

Might i ask which Australian retailer?

Dear FPNers, let me show You the three Ranga pens I ordered in this group buy. They all came in a nice silk box, together with a present - Oliver exam demonstrator pen.

 

I think the pens are excellent.

 

These are my first ebonite pens and I like the ebonite very much. It feels warm in hand, and seems to be anti-scratchy. Much better than plastic.

 

Model 8 pens are very ergonomic.

 

These photos are made in day light. The colours of all pens in reality is more pale.

 

The colours are: Bamboo - pale green; Model 8 - one is orange + black section and the other is Rose Red – Mauve Ripple (colour N 13 from the top post). I would say that the rose red-mauve pen is in fact a beautiful combination of red and dark blue.

 

The pens write excellent, it is a pleasure to use them.

 

I admire the artisan of making these beautiful pens!

If anyone is looking to get a Ranga but don't want to pay top dollar, send me a PM I would have a 3C for sale in mint condition (M Jovo nib). I just don't use my fountain pens much anymore and got a Lamy 2000.

      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
