My First Ranga Fountain Pen!

[jdllizard]

Someone at Ranga Pens must be using common core math, because I ordered ONE Ranga Doufold eyedropper, but these showed up together, with a spare nib and feed!

 

How cool that they are hand turned on a foot treadle lathe using some stunning ebonite. What a pen for the price!

 

 

 

 

I love the green & black rippled ebonite!

 

 

 

 

The Ranga Duofold is a large pen but feels very comfortable in my hand. Great crafstmanship for a pen in that price range.

Congrats... Do share the Writing sample...

Nice looking pen you have there, JD. Ebonite feels great in the hand, yes?

And the freebie, a Fellowship Pillar if I'm not mistaken, is not bad either.

There are a number of similar pen manufacturers that sell those with their imprint, I have Clicks, Olivers, and Fellowships, and they're all great.

Do enjoy your Ranga, it's very beautiful!

Welcome to a wonderful new world! Beauty, craftsmanship, and fine writing experiences ahead.

Unfortunately, now that you are hooked it's time to admit that there is no recovery program.

Yep, that's just what it is, but I haven't had time to research it yet. I love the bronze-gold-silver-brass swirl coloring of the pen though.

 

As for the Ranga, I haven't inked it up yet but a writing sample will be forthcoming. I also recently acquired a Brahmam, so my plan is to ink them both up at the same time and do a side by side writing sample.

Oh, sweet little Brahmam! Those are lovely little pens andm ake the Ranga look like a giant!

That's a nice looking pen. Congratulations.

Does it have any vent hole in the cap? Is it airtight? Do Ranga pens in general have holes?

Thank you Sir, and yes, ebonite does feel great in the hand!

No vent hole in mine, but since it's the only one I've ever handled I don't know about other Rangas.

That's a nice looking pen. Congratulations.

Thanks!

The Ranga is a giant, but doesn't feel as big as it looks in my hand. It's actually quit comfortable, though I've yet to actually ink it up, so I can't speak to long term use.

[MarkSimenhoff]

Wow. Very nice. I"ll have to check out Ranga.

 

Thanks!
