Group Buy - Ranga Emperor

Recommended Posts

This is the first Ranga pen I have bought and I couldn't be happier. The pen is beautifully made, the construction is very sturdy and the pen writes beautifully out of the box. I will be participating in future group buys.

Bobje, I love the green color of yours - and appreciate your excellent reviews -

 

Here are mine - The just-received Emperor, and also a custom Model 8 that Mr. Kandan created several months ago. The section of the Emperor is about 12 mm in the middle. This model seems similar to the Model 3 in size, but am not sure as I don't own one. For those of you who have the Model 8, this gives a bit of comparison (but my Model 8 is 5.5" long, a bit shorter than normal, and also a bit rounder on the ends by request). The Emperor feels really nice, is very solid and well made.

 

I am very happy with the quality of both pens, and equally complimentary to Mr. Kandan and his excellent communication throughout. They clearly care about their product and their customers.

I just came back from the post office where I had to pick up mine. Have only opened the package & checked everything was there - it was! my first 3-in-1 from Ranga. Beautiful as always. Looking forward to filling up & putting it to paper...

I have now had an opportunity to try this pen for a few days, and it has not disappointed. Comfortable, and beautiful as always.

Only, this time I got a Bock nib, and this I think was an unnecessary expense. I think the Ambitious nibs that I bought separately (or with some of my Asa pens) are just as good, if not better - and less expensive. Lesson learned... especially since I'm also not convinced I want to go back to converter filled pens after having adapted to the eyedropper!

I am quite happy with the finishing and quality of these pens; glad I was able to add these two.

no premium ebonite in this group buy?

for some reason this pen looks nice in standard ebonite.

It must be the black section and finals that give it a classic look, I also thought that it would look good in bakul.

 

I really wanted a mottled olive, but when I went to order the colour was already out of stock. Still the brown finishes are classic Indian (with also the greens) so I though I would try a brown swirl, as it's one colour I do not have yet.

 

Here is the pen

fpn_1516317762__p11405603.jpg

 

Here it is in comparison with a Ranga 3 flat top, the size is very similar.
The Emperor tapers slightly on cap and barrel. while the flat top 3 is straight.

The section looks identical to the model 3

A CC version, but I swear my next Ranga will be an eye dropper with ebonite feed

fpn_1516318343__p1140568-3.jpg

 

All in all a nice pen, the silky bakul finish is very nice to hold, the tapering shape is very slightly more comfortable than the model 3, the size is right (at least for me).

quick question: the feed, is plastic or ebonite ?

 

Given this group buy*only* offers pens with a Bock nib unit, the feed will be plastic.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
