Product Description
Type fountain pen made of Indian ebonite (hard rubber) and fitted with a modern 18k nib
Product Name This is the "Bamboo" model by Ranga
Manufacturer and Year Ranga Pen Company, India -- 2014. The nib is from a 1990s Sheaffer Balance 2.
Length 5-7/8"
Filling System Blow-filler. It's a simple filling process: put the nib in ink, and blow in the hole in the end of the barrel. (Surprising little pressure is actually required.) Leave the nib in the ink for a few seconds, pull it out and wipe off any excess ink on the section. The pen is ready to write. You don't need to unscrew the barrel, but if you did you'd see a simple rubber sac which will be easy to maintain and replace if it ever wears out.
Color Smooth pink ripple ebonite.
Nib EXTRA FINE. 18k modern Sheaffer Feather Touch nib, from the Balance 2 series. It's springy enough that it offers mild line variation.
Condition Brand new, never used except during the process of building and testing. We fitted a new sac. The pen has been tested thoroughly for ink flow and smoothness.
