Hello,

1] I posted the following question and then another one, you answered the second one (re: Pelikan nibs) but I don't see an answer to the first one, so I'm taking the liberty of copying it and pasting it here:

 

Using your links.

 

1. I want to buy the color all the way to the left here. What is it called, please? http://www.ebay.com/...rc=1&rmvSB=true

 

2. I also want the color all the way to the left here. Is it RE series 2, Brown Ripple? http://www.ebay.com/...rc=1&rmvSB=true

 

 

 

2] Further to Pelikan nibs, as I only have the nibs in their screw-in units, why is it necessary to send them to Mr. Kandan? It makes no sense. He would still have to provide the threaded part into which one screws the nib unit, and those are standard, so can't he simply make up the pen to be ready for the nib unit and ship it that way?

 

Thanks again.

SE Series - 12. Rose Red Black Ripple

Becasue Mr. Kandan does not have tap or dies to make a screw in section for Pelikan Nib Units. I have already spoken with him in this regards and he insists for nib for customer to send him a nib so that he can see it in person and make a section accordingly...

 

 

Thanks again.

it is closer to the first image.. but I will confirm you only once I speak with Mr. Kandan

 

 

Hi, has there been any confirmation yet of whether or not it is indeed the closer to the darker rod colour? The name is confusing. I won't be ordering if it is the lighter one. Thanks in advance

Vaibhav,

put in an order for a Ranga Model 3, in solid cherry red (rod no. 11), eyedropper, clipless, polished, with a 35mm Kanwrite flex nib. Also, a spare Kanwrite flex nib and feed; and a spare Ambitious fine nib and feed. Should be $39. Send me a PM with where to send the Paypal payment. Assuming it's the same place as for the Ranga Model 8 group buy, last spring. Thank you for managing this extensive project.

Hi the red black swirl premium ebonite is bright red and it is out of stock now...and is black dominant

the new option that he has now is pale pink black swirl which is closer to second image that u shared earlier...

please find replies in RED

 

 

Thanks for answering, Vaibhav. It seems I'm lingering too much on this purchase decision. I originally considered ordering one pen in either Premium Ebonite #5, #6 or SE #11. Two of those options are gone now, so at least I'll save money when/if I eventually do order a pen. Knowing myself and my indecisiveness, I'll probably wait until the last minute, though.

Vaibhav..

 

This response seems to be in direct contradiction with the previous reply on the color issue, and with the original descriptions and images provided when the Group buy was announced..

 

Color #12 Rose Red - Black Ripple (SE series)

Color# 6 Pale Pink Black Swirl (PE series)

In the images # 6 Looks darker and more vibrant than #12. Particularly when you look at the image showing the end of the #12 rod which looks Pink.

 

A few of us have inquired about these 2 colors because of the apparent discrepancy with the description and the images..where # 6 is described as Pink, but #12 looks like Pink.

 

On 12/13 you replied that the "the red on the premium (Pale Pink Black swirl #6 PE series ) is brighter than that of special colors "

On 12/21 you replied that "red black swirl premium ebonite (Rose Red-Black Ripple #12 SE series) is bright red and it is out of stock now"

(there is no color offered described as "red black swirl premium ebonite " so I presume you are referring to Rose Red-Black Ripple #12 SE series)

 

These two replies above are in direct conflict..

 

From what I can see 18 people have ordered either #12 or #6 for their color choice...

 

This is most confusing for such an important element of one's purchase...I wonder how many of these 18 orders have ordered the WRONG color based on the images, the descriptions, or the conflicting replies.

 

I know I ordered # 6 based on the reply of 12/13...however based on the reply of 12/21 it looks like I should order #12 - which is now out of stock.

 

Suggestions?

Is it possible to get cap tapered slightly rather then cylindrical shape? (for model 3)

[Mister5]

Form submitted. Let me know if that white/blue swirl premium comes back in stock, looks beautiful.
