Allied Forces Germany-France / Khaki - Lie De The

[Morbus Curiositas]

Dear FPN friends

 

The great Stephen brown, the David Attenborough of Fountain Pen Documentaries, would porbably say....

 

It is Time for an other SHOOT OUT!!!

 

But since no one can equal the excellence of SBRE Brown I write.

 

It's time for another Allied Forces

 

De Atramentis Khaki - J. Herbin Lie de The

Bottles Nice but nothing fancy....

 

But i do not care about that.

 

If you urinate (water in) a Crystal Bottle.... the bottle is beautiful.... but the contents still stink

 

Outer beauty dissapears in due time.. Inner beauty stays...

Colours look pretty similar. DA is more yellowish an earth or soil brown. Herbin has more red I guess it is a darker brown.

 

Look at the difference in the nib sizes

Both inks shade

 

Flow in both inks is superb. The De Atramentis is a bit quicker drying...

 

Waterproof this chapter goes to Herbin which can withstand an occasional drop of water

 

No feathering in both inks

 

The other colours used

 

Black = Kaweco black

 

Yellow = DA Document yellow

Black in Flag is DA Document Black

Blue in Flag = DA Document Blue

Written Blue = Herbin 1670 blue

 

Entschuldigung für die Sauhaufen beim erste Versuch der Deutsche Flagge. Just apologized for making such a Mess in the German flag.
