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.
We'll also give you the option of a silver or gold colored clip, or no clip at all. (If you elect to get this model without a clip, please be advised that there is a 1x3mm notch where the clip fits, and when the clip is removed the line between the derby and the rest of the barrel disappears except for this small rectangle.)
Nib You have a choice of nibs. The pen is fitted with a German screw-in nib unit made by JoWo in its standard #6 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:
- polished steel nibs (check the drop-down menu for availability of two-tone and gold-tone finishes)
- nib sizes in XF, Fine, Medium, Broad, 1.1mm and 1.5mm.
See writing sample for the standard JoWo nibs below.
