Product Description
Type Fountain pen made of Indian ebonite (hard rubber)
Product Name This is the standard size 4CS model by Ranga ... gently rounded on both ends.
Manufacturer and Year The barrel, cap and section were made by our friends at Ranga Pen Company, India. The nib is modern Sheaffer from the 1990s.
Length 5-13/16"
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 once or twice. (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. You can also fill the pen by squeezing the rubber bladder.
Color Apple green ebonite (the green has some wisps of color throughout). Gold colored clip.
Nib STUB FINE ITALIC. It looks like one of the Lifetime nibs used on the limited edition Balance II pens, but those were not marked as to gold content and this is marked 14k. It started as a conventional round ball medium, but we ground it to produce a fine italic that is crisp but not sharp or scratchy. Please see writing sample below.
Condition New condition. This is a largish smooth surface pen in a great color and with nice rounded styling. The ebonite components are brand new and the nib is new old stock Sheaffer.
