It still shows that I ordered a matte finish on my pen. Is it too late to make the change to a glossy finish, as requested in my last PM?

[mpkandan]

Dear Mr. Bigbywolf Sir,

 

Thanks. Your order (line no 54) shows that your order is polished .

Received mine today! Great service from Ranga as always and quick postage. Thanks to Mpkandan and Mehandiratta for organising. Shipped quickly, in a nice gift box and secure traditional packaging. The pen writes beautifully (35mm ambitious nib- written several A4 pages of notes) and the ebonite is finished really nicely / highly polished. Came with eyedropper and the threads were pre-greased. A quick rinse of the barrel to remove manufacturing dust and you can use it straight away. The colour is more of a brown/green (accentuated in my pics) than a blue/orange but it does match the pictures in the op. Here's a pic;

And here are some comparisons with some of its Ranga siblings, with caps all lined up on the same line (Model 8-35mm ambitious nib, Duofold-stock medium nib, Zeal - 40mm ambitious and model 5- stock medium nib);

It feels smaller than the others, probably due to being relatively thin. I highly recommend the ambitious nibs. It does post, albeit loosely, but there is no need to post it. The cap on mine unscrews in only 1.5 turns and is very secure (it will not come undone in any normal situation). I think this will be a big positive for others (I actually prefer more but I know I'm in the minority). The clip is also different to my other Ranga's as shown below;

In summary I am very pleased with my purchase! I believe this already the most popular group buy yet. I can thoroughly recommend the eyedropper versions and the new Indian ebonites.

 

P.s I really like the free Fellowship pens included too

I am happy to see photos of what each of you have received. It makes the wait much easier.

 

These are truly beautiful pens and I'm so grateful that this group buy was arranged for us. It is wonderful that these pens are being brought out into the world. I do appreciate the opportunity to have a beautiful Indian made eye dropper fountain pen.

 

Thanks to both Mr. Kandan and Mr. Mehandiratta for making this possible for us.

[dapprman]

Mine arrived today, packaged in the usual manner - cloth outer wrap, newspaper wrap below, then secure box, along with the free small eye dropper pen (has anyone actually tried to use one of these).

 

The matt surface may not feel silky smooth like a polished pen, but it still feels good. The nib was a little scratchy at first, but that might just have been surface detritus a rinse did not remove as now it's fine. My only gripe is nothing to do with messrs Kandan and Kandan, nor the workmanship, but the grip section of the pen itself is actually a little too narrow for me - no way I could have known in advance and I don't regret the purchase.
