Rohrer & Klingner Iron Gall Nut Ink Ebony Thanks @Lithium466 for the sample. This is a limited-edition 2023 ink by R&K . It’s a purple tinged iron gall ink, that depending the light, pen, it will look brown, purple or grey. As of the date of this review it is still available at Jet Pens in North America, and Stilo et Stile in Europe. It’s one of those inks, that I wanted keep using and using and was sad when I had to empty the pen. It has a lot of character. At first, I was surprised by the lack of lubrication at the beginning but as time went on, it became a very pleasant writer. So, give it a chance to settle in the pen. It’s a water resistant ink, but only with time. What surprised me most, was its bad behaviour on copy paper. It didn’t behave like a “normal” iron gall ink. If you think using this for artwork, note that the purple dye washes away. It’s very easy to clean, but I believe a wet, well sealed pen would be best suited for it. The Chroma is simply gorgeous Writing Samples: I reverse wrote with an Ef nib to create the Ultra Ef nib. Surprisingly, dry times are long Here I added two final lines by a "true" Iron gall ink, to show you how a "real" Iron gall ink should behave Photo: I took the photo a week later to see if it darker. Note the scan is grey, the photo purple Comparison: Water test: Left side 10 seconds under running water. Sample was written with glass nib. So amount of nib is more than a normal nib. The paper was still humid when I scanned the image. Ink has been applied 24 hours before. Art Work: I really enjoyed doing artwork with this ink. Talens pocket book paper. This is a nod to Some Like Hot 1959 movie, on a tan Clairefontaine mix media paper (A5) and finally the Egyptian Queen, inspired by Ancient Egyptian cat art. Paper is an A5 Talens notebook. The outfit is pure R&K Ebony, the blue is Monteverde Malibu, and the grey is diluted Lexington Gray 1:1, and the darker part is mix with Sailor Kiwa-guro. · Pens used: Lamy (Reverse Ef, EF/F/M/B, BB), Nib creeper semiflex · What I liked: The colour, writing, doing washes, and cleaning. · What I did not like: It is not a "true" Iron gall. · What some might not like: It's a bit dry at first. · Shading: Faint · Ghosting: Yes, on cheap paper. · Bleed through: Yes, on cheap paper. · Flow Rate: Wet · Lubrication: Slightly below average · Nib Dry-out: Did not notice. · Start-up: Ok · Saturation: Nice and dark · Shading Potential: Diant · Sheen: No. · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: Did not notice. · Nib Creep / “Crud”: Did not notice. · Staining (pen): No. · Clogging: Did not notice. · Cleaning: Very easy · Water resistance: Very good with time, but note if the ink is just applied and it rains, the purple dye will separate and you'll have mess · Availability: Limited Edition 2023. 50 ml bottles. Please don't hesitate to share your experience, writing samples or any other comments. The more the merrier

MONTBLANC - Sakura Precious 88 - Artisan Limited Edition Fountain Pen - Asia Series
bitsbatsbobs posted a topic in Montblanc
Hi all, I hope everyone is having a good week! I am looking to sell this fountain pen, amongst others, due to a recent change of circumstances. What is the best approach to take if I want a quick sale? Any advice or tips on marketing or value are welcome. Sakura is a very important symbol for the Japanese culture. It symbolizes beauty and transience, as well as the beginning of spring. Produced in 2002, this Sakura honors the Lady Ise and is fashioned from 18 karat rose gold highlighted with cherry blossoms painted in exquisite enamel work. Built on the Boheme chassis this exquisite pen features a retracting 18K 750 rose gold Medium (M) nib marked with Kanji characters.4 1/2 ” (11.4 cm).Limited to only 88 piece world-wide. This precious Limited Edition is a unique treasure from Montblanc Atelier. Each individual writing instrument is the work of a master craftsman and bears a specific limited edition number as proof of its exclusivity. Presented in an ivory colored box with all original packaging and papers. Thank you.

I just noticed these today on AliExpress: which are purportedly new limited-edition, market-exclusive colours for China. They are listed by that seller at the same price as the gold-trimmed translucent colours in the regular line-up (Bourgogne, Laurel Green, Chartres Blue); the available nib options are F and M only. The net price of US$112.55 (plus tax, where applicable), after automatic and/or easily accessible discounts, is marginally less than the Japanese domestic market MSRP of ¥18,000(+tax) for the regular colours going by today's exchange rates. Free international shipping included (at least for Australia, Belgium, Mexico, UK, US and Zimbabwe, as far as I've checked just now). The inclusion of a converter with silver trim in the retail package seems a bit out of place for either of those colours, especially when previously the silver-trimmed converters are sold at a slight premium over the ‘standard’ gold-trimmed ones.

Hello, I am hoping to get some direction. I purchased a used 75th anniversary Montblanc 149. About a 2 weeks ago I noticed that a small piece of the rose gold flaked off of the nib near the breather hole. Does anyone know of someone that I can reach out to that can completely re-plate the nib. I understand MB did a really bad job on plating these nibs so I would like to get it re-done so that I don't have to worry about it in the future.

adamselene posted a topic in Other Brands - Europe
Can’t find any info about this on line. Big gold nib, fantastic feel, but haven’t dipped it to try it. Going back to store soon. Expensive, about 1600 Euros. The story how I came across it, as well as more pix, are here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/366734-sevilla-papelería-ferrer/#comment-4540900 i naively asked the owner if it was a new brand. But these are the Staedlers who started making pencils in the 1400’s, and makr ke tech pens etc today. if you call the store and buy it before I get there, please save me. tol

How-to: Set, or change, personal info that others can see about me
A Smug Dill posted a blog entry in Sus Minervam docet
It helps to explore this yourself, revisiting once in a while if need be, and keep in mind where each of those personal info fields are entered. Don't leave it until the urge to change something specific to come upon you, and only then bother to ask the question! Invest the time surveying upfront, instead of waste it later waiting for an answer from nobody in particular. Most of the fields shown above are self-evident as to what they are. I think the only ones that could do with explanation are: Security and Privacy: There is only one setting under there, and that is a toggle for whether your online status (including ‘last active’ date or time) is visible to others Content View Behavior: That has nothing to do with what others can see about you, but only where you would like to start reading when accessing content Enable status updates: This toggle enables/disables the public feed on your profile page; if you disable it, then nobody (including you) can post publicly visible ‘status updates’ or any other message against your profile, but if you enable it, then anyone — friend, foe, or complete stranger — can post something there whenever, without waiting for you to initiate and then only reply to what you wrote Notification Settings have nothing to do with what others can see about you, and so is out of scope for this article, and I'm not going to delve into those right now. (You can look here, here, and here to wrap your head around how notifications work with respect to followed content.) N.B. There is a possibility that some of the above settings and data fields may not be available to Bronze members and/or Silver members, but I have no way of testing that or scoping it out. — • — Another way of getting to the Edit Profile dialog, and the way to change your profile photo (or ‘avatar’), is here: — • — Freeform, custom member titles that one enters for oneself are long gone, and have not been a thing since FPN came back from a long hiatus and platform upgrade late in 2020. -
Dear friends, I've recently got attracted by Montblanc limited edition pens, like the PoA and Writers Edition. I can easily find their list according to their release year, and current trading price on Ebay. But I'm interested in making some chart including their prices when they were originally released. Especially, I want to compare their prices when released with the price of plain Montblanc 149 at that time. I can find some on Ebay if the outer box includes a price tag. For example, I can find Hemingway was $600 on this listing on Ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Montblanc-Writers-Edition-Hemingway-Fountain-Pen-Brand-New-In-Box-SEALED/233642242043?hash=item366629affb:g:Va0AAOSw3nNew~V7), but it looks like Montblanc had quitted to write the price on the outer box quite a while ago. Could you let me know if there's any resource or assorted table that I can find their release price? Thank you in advance.

FWI commemorative edition Fenestro pen in bocote
A Smug Dill posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Chinese pens
I came across this on Instagram just now while looking for reviews of Fine Writing International's Fenestro pen. This looks pretty nice, although unlike the resin-bodied Fenestro models which are fitted with steel JoWo #6 nibs, this version has a gold JoWo #5 nib. I'm not sure if this can be used as an eyedropper-filled pen with the barrel serving as the ink reservoir. I have an FWI Planet series ‘Mercury’ pen, and am pretty impressed with the build quality and writing performance. Its biggest ‘flaw’, to me, is taking more than three whole turns to uncap, so I wanted to find out whether the Fenestro offers any improvement in that regard. Irrespective of that, I guess I'm not inclined to spend US$260 (plus shipping) on a pen made in either China or Taiwan.© Fine Writing International

This pen is rather tricky to photo and show off its true colours, so I placed it on top of a reference card to help you better calibrate your perception of the colours in its aurolide body.© A Smug Dill

Leonardo Officina Italiana Tainan Pen Show 2019 Limited Edition
MichalK posted a topic in Italy - Europe
Leonardo Officina Italiana from time to time makes special limited editions of their pens. We all know this. But some of those editions are not just a known model in different material. They more unique and special, and one of them is Leonardo Tainan Pen Show 2019. Only 60 pieces, and in the ebonite version even rarer. Unique pen - ebonite, ebonite feed, gold nib, real piston filler - not "captured converter". A thick hand-made sterling silver ring on cap... A special pen, isn't it? And two of them (no 28 and 30 out of 60) are going to be even more rare (if i succeed). I am lacquering them with urushi. One is already in the process, the other one is waiting (inked )) Below - beauty shot, explosion pic and video of part of the lacquering process. -
2012 Montblanc Writers Edition Jhonatan Swift M Nib The Art Of Engrave Montblanc Special and Limited Editions Nibs I am a Montblanc collector, and as someone have already known, I have a great interest in special and limited editions of the company. It is true that, as a good purist, I started with a 149, which has been followed by several others 149´s and Meisterstuck pieces, but my collection has focused on the writers edition, expanding to great characters and donation pen. In short, special editions and limited editions. It is not my intention to comment about the virtues of the special and the limited editions of Montblanc, because all of you surely know them, someone have their opinion, many like them, some do not, anyway. What I wanted to share on this occasion is to invite you to an incredible trip, to discover a world in miniature, which passes, largely, unnoticed to the naked eye, and even more if we have some years; to know in detail the work of decorate the nibs of special and limited editions, and let us surprise with “ the art of engrave " Have you ever seen Gulliver's belt, or the difference in size between him and the citizen of liliput on horseback? I will be sharing the nibs that are in my collection, and I will appreciate that you get excited and upload the photos of yours special and limited nibs. Let's start. Enjoy it. FEAMAT
