Pif - Montblanc Burgundy/bordeaux Ink Giveaway


ErrantSmudge

Recommended Posts

It's time for another Ink Giveaway PIF!

I am giving away most of a bottle of Montblanc Bordeaux (Burgundy Red) ink. Montblanc has renamed and reformulated their inks since I bought this bottle, so I don't know if it is the same as the modern Burgundy color.

I am keeping the original Montblanc bottle the ink came in. I have transferred it to an old bottle that once held Quink Black, which is how you will receive it.

Here are the rules:

1) United States only.

2) Winners of my previous PIFs (Levenger, OMAS, Rotring, J. Herbin inks) are not eligible for this PIF.

3) Everyone who posts on this thread saying they want the ink through Tuesday, January 17, 2017 is eligible.

4) On Wednesday, January 18, 2017 I'll post here to close the PIF and everyone ahead of me in the thread will be entered. I'll select a winner using the random number generator at random.org. I'll list the winner here, and contact them via PM to set up shipment.

5) I will ship to the winner for free, in exchange for a letter or postcard from you containing handwritten samples of your five favorite ink colors. Or, you can pay for shipping, whichever you prefer. (I will ship via USPS).

6) A winner who doesn't respond to my PM within three days after close of the PIF will forfeit their winning. I'll draw again to find another winner.

 

Here is a writing sample of the ink.

I should mention that the Cross ATX I used to make the writing sample is wetter than a firehose. On most other pens, the Montblanc burgundy ink does not appear as saturated. But the scanner has captured the writing sample very well.

Montblanc Burgundy red is one colour I would love to try. Please could you include me in the draw. I can provide a US address. :)

 

U.S. Addresses for non-US recipients are quite OK.
