OK, I fell in love with the bottle. Looks like a near perfect copy of the Parker Penman ink bottle-- except that the Hero brand name is in raised letters around the bottom circumference. Packaging is very classy with gold-foil lettering and an embossed box insert. Unfortunately that's the end of the good news. The ink was a brownish-black color and clogged my pen even quicker than the Hero 234 Carbon Black ink did! I will dump the ink and keep the bottle for my mix of Noodler's Inkmyn Sapphire from amberleadavis' great recipe.
