Beautiful pen and photos!! Yes, I agree, the matte (in whatever color) does have a "natural" and "woodsy" feel.

 

I can answer Frank McCourt's question: Three fountain pens! :)

it's a long time since I received my model 3 pen, but I had not taken a picture to post until now...

 

here it is

post-114886-0-67265000-1462825730_thumb.jpg

 

it's the mottled green polished finish

 

it's a nice dark green, British green I would dare say...

the photo in artificial light makes it look slightly darker than it is,

however the polished finish enhances the green/black contrast,

the gold clip and nib complete a very elegant look

 

the size 3 is my favourite Ranga size so far, it fits nicely and comfortably in my hand for long writing sessions, and I find extremely desirable the lack of step down from barrel to section.

the nib is a Jowo M, my preference is usually B nibs, but this pen is mostly used for notes (for the above reason of comfort) so M is useful for smaller writing and for less bleadthrough on cheaper paper. The nib is smooth without an excessive "holiday on ice" effect.

 

I just though it would be nice to compare the finish with the lovely green ripple bakul finish shown earlier in this thread

(I have the bakul on an olive ripple and a burgundy ripple Rangas and love it)

 

The model 3 is a perfect pen for my taste, the size is right, the balance is great, and I also love the light weight. In fact I am not too fond of heavy pens, that's why I tend to look at Indian pens among reasonably affordable pens rather than Chinese and besides, I feel a lot of fascination for the artisan work behind the Rangas and other Indian pens.

Thanks very much, Mr.Sanseri Sir for your nice comments and pictures.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
