Pif: Black Ranga 3 Uk Only


Dip n Scratch

Recommended Posts

I admit I do not use this pen the way it deserves to be and so I am moving it on to an appreciative FPN user IN THE UK ONLY. Sorry to raise my voice. Transatlantic postage is stupid expensive.

 

The pen is from a Group Buy. It is entirely of polished black ebonite. It should have a Schmidt K5 converter, but the red rubber seal washer inside the converter failed. It has a Jinhao converter in there now.

The pen has a 3 in 1 ink feed but i'd suggest you had a specific nib unit for that role as a Bock 250 nib unit writes very wet with 2.5ml of ink in the barrel. The pen has a Fine & Extra-Fine Bock 250 nib unit included.

 

I am passing the pen on because my preference is towards Eyedropper pens with basic ebonite feeds for easy cleaning.

Hi,

I'd love to receive it!

Don't have an Ebonite pen and this would be a great one to have.

Please let me know :)

Thank you for this PIF,

I am not a contender, just saying thanks.

Ranga pens are lovely writers, the new owner will be pleased.

Although the pen is a CC filler you can try it in ED by just leaving out the converter and filling the barrel with ink,

Ranga pens usually come already with a dab of silicone grease on the barrel threads, just fill with ink and go.

I passed on the Ranga 3 because while the section was fine for my grip it was too wet when used as a Eyedropper.

I have a Olive Green Ranga 4S Eyedropper now. It takes #6 nibs. As of this moment there's a Kanwrite Flex nib in it & Hero 202 ink.

I think this thread can be closed now.

 

Sidd:

If you do decide to part with the pen it would be an excellent idea to give a beginner a chance to own it.

      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
