Both my pen arrived yesterday.

It has taken a while, but I suspect the Xmas festivities had a lot to do with it (I also received today a Christmas card from a client at work...)

 

Model 3, red blue cracked ice, Bock B chrome nib

Model 8B, red gold cracked ice, Bock M gold tone nib

 

They are like the first two examples shown in the first page of this thread, only without the clip.

 

Both are VERY nice and the somewhat overexposed pictures here do not do them full justice (I will try to take my own pictures when the dark winter gives a break and some sunny day shows up, I don't like so much to shoot with artificial light).

 

I was particularly intrigued by these two colour combos as they seemed to be the nicest choices with more than one colour in the resin.

I think I made a good choice, the red gold is particularly nice with lots of depth in the material.

 

Execution of the pens is also very very accurate! The threads are perfect with not the slightest imprecision and I am really favourably impressed.

If I have to compare with some cheaper resin pens (Moonman comes to mind) the Ranga execution is from another world.

 

Bock are nice nibs of course but compared to the resin job, they look a little boring here, as performance is good, but nothing exciting.

I will probably be playing around with some spare #6 nibs I have to see what I can fit in the Bock collar.

 

Will be back with photos, these pens deserve to be shown in the full glory of their sparkling resin.

Here is a quick photo with the cell phone

The nice colour mix and shiny look of the resin is quite evident nonetheless

That looks beautiful!

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

not so many photos have shown up, on this GB yet...

I had to wait to take mine, I wanted to take them in daylight but the last few weeks the weather has been so dull...

then this week some better lighting at last!

 

here is the blue red cracked ice Ranga 3.

This is a nice colour combo, the two different colours contrast rather well, the effect is rather different from the one tone cracked ice

The blue particles in the resin have nice sparkle and depth

The Bock B nib is very nice, smooth, with good flow and a touch of give

These cracked ice resins tend to look darker or brighter depending how they hit the light

also it's not easy to notice but the resin is very slightly translucent

the colour also matches my royal blue + sargasso sea mix quite well :)

      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
