Glad to see another great group buy! Thank you for organizing.

 

Is it possible to have a cap that comes off in fewer turns? Two or less would be great but I'm not sure what's possible.

I have what may seem to be a silly question.

What is ebonite? What is it made from?

I have heard that it is a hardened rubber. It this correct?

The reason why I am asking is that I have a serious allergy to latex (a rubber). I have used pens in the past that have a rubber substance on the grip and have had allergic reactions. So, I am much more cautious now.

Ebonite is Vulcanised or Hard Rubber. It was used in many older pens (CHBR is Chased Hard Black Rubber) it is mostly rubber but with some sulphur and linseed oil. I did find a discussion on a flute making board where someone stated that it is non allergenic. I would be wary but if you have a Waterman's 52 or similar then that is ebonite. Apparently Bowling balls are or were made from Ebonite, so that might give you a clue.

 

Depending on how sensitive to latex you are you might want to try holding an ebonite pen to find out if it does cause issues. It would probably be a useful thing to know given that feeds can be made of ebonite in almost any pen.

 

I hope that this helps.

after my order Mr Kandan has replied to clarify my choices were not fully applicable.

I think this may be useful to others in "pen configuration" as there are so many options!

 

Mr. Kandan advises

"For Spec 1:
----------------
1. Green/Yellow will have black specs.
2. Bock M nib is white colour . So Do you need White Clip or Gold clip?

For Specs 2:
------------
1. White Jowo B nib is not available. Can I put 2 toned Broad nib?
2. The Blue/ Olive Ripple is very similar to colour #10 in the below listing

http://www.ebay.com/...FoAAOSwZSFXJjCD

Please let me know."

 

My reply to Mr Kandan:

 

dear Mr Kandan

thank you for the information

let me try to change my request according to limitations

my starting assumptions

I would like to take two of the new regular ebonite colours but I would prefer them to be without black specs

I would like one pen to be CC and the other ED

I would like one nib to be M and the other to be B

I would like one pen to be gold clip + gold nib (plated) and one pen to be silver clip + silver nib

in particular I would like the blue and olive ripple to have silver clip and silver nib

so according to your comments

"Bock M nib is white colour"

I would like the blue olive ripple to be the ED pen with bock nib M silver and silver clip

RANGA MODEL 8 (ED Version)
--------------------------------
REGULAR EBONITE : US $32

Finish - Polished
Colour : blue-olive ripple (no. 8 of the new regular ebonite)
Nib Option : Bock M at extra US $ 8. (silver finish)
Clip Option Finish : Silver Color

total USD 40

the other pen can be another of the new regular ebonite colours, but without specs please

(which do you suggest? is the pink yellow without specs? is the B nib gold finish available?)

RANGA MODEL 8 (CC Version - German Nibs & Converter)
REGULAR EBONITE : US $63

Finish - Polished
Colour: pink yellow ripple (no. 7 of the new regular ebonite)
Clip Option Finish : Gold Color
Nib Option : JoWo Nib Gold colour B Nib
Schmidt K5 Converter

total USD 63

grand total USD 103

Please confirm if the above is workable

thank you and regards

Enrico

Would it be possible to order an acrylic model 8 under this group buy? In particular, would it be possible to order a model 8 in the same material as the model 4 described here?

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/308215-the-ranga-4-cs-acrylic-pictorial/

 

If not, I might consider the blue ripple ebonite.
