Product Description
Type Fountain pen handmade of Indian ebonite (hard rubber) ... this version of the pen has a screw-in German nib unit and accepts international cartridges and converters. Non-standard colors, just one pen in each color is available.
Product Name This is the large (but not giant!) Model 9B, which is not a model we carry ordinarily. It is similar to the 8B, but features a smooth transition from barrel to cap.
Manufacturer and Year Ranga Pen Company, India - 2021
Length 6-3/8"
Filling System International style cartridges and converters. The pen has been configured to accept a screw-in German nib unit which works with international style cartridges and converters. A converter will be included. In addition, the converter can be removed so that you can use the pen as an eyedropper.
Color This listing is for one of the pens made of special ripple ebonites. Ranga only had a few rods of these ebonites, probably the result of a mishap at the ebonite production facility where the colors got combined unexpectedly. We're not going to bother naming these colors, so please select based on the number on the photo below.
Nib You have a choice of nibs. The pen is fitted with a German screw-in nib unit made by JoWo in its standard configuration. We offer this nib set-up with steel JoWo nibs. The base price is for the steel nibs, and you'll see the additional amounts in the pulldown menu for the other options:
- two-tone or polished steel nibs
- nib sizes in XF, Fine, Medium, Broad, 1.1mm and 1.5mm.
For additional nib options, please see our selection of upgraded nibs compatible with the JoWo #6 housing. Select the pen from the pulldown menu with no nib or converter, and purchase the nib separately.
See writing sample for the standard JoWo nibs below.
