Product Description
Type Blow-filler fountain pen made of Ebonite. For a demonstration of a similar pen with a different nib, see our youtube video here.
Product Name This is the 4cs model by Ranga.
Manufacturer and Year Ranga Pen Company, India -- 2016.
Length Just under 5-3/4 inches.
Filling System We have configured this pen as a blow-filler. It's a simple filling process: put the nib in ink, and blow in the hole in the end of the barrel. (Surprsing 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 Black bakul (matte) ebonite cap and barrel with a gold colored clip which can be removed for a sleeker look.
Nib FLEXIBLE MEDIUM. The nib is a brand new Eversharp flexible 14k nib from the 917 Symphony pens. It's what we would call almost fully flexible, with soft easy line variation from medium to double broad. These are the largest, and most flexible, of the Eversharp Symphony nibs. See writing sample below.
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.
