Product Description
Type Fountain pen handmade of premium acrylic ... this version of the pen has a screw-in German nib unit.
Product Name Model 8B is a version of the Model 8 that is fatter. This is a Ranga style that is torpedo-shaped with pointed tops and bottoms. This listing is for the 8B with the new style Ranga clip. (We will be phasing out the 8Bs with the old style clips, as the clips are not interchangeable.)

Length 6-1/4". The area of the section where most people grip the pen is 10.5mm (as opposed to 10mm for the slimmer Model 8). The widest area of the barrel is 14.5mm (as opposed to 12.5mm for the Model 8).
Filling System International style cartridges and converters. The pen has been configured to accept a screw-in German nib unit which works with international style cartirdges and converters. A converter will be included.
In addition, the converter can be removed so that you can use the pen as an eyedropper.
Color This listing is for Ranga 8B pens in acrylic. We have these in a few different colors, and we'll be adding more. There are a few "premium acrylic" colors which have a higher price, and you will see the price when you select them. Gold or silver colored clip. We can remove the clip altogether, but a small notch where the clip sits will remain.
