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.

      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
