Landolt-Arbenz Konigsblau (Royal Blue)

[Snargle]

I travelled to Switzerland last month for a family visit (my wife is Swiss) and, while there, visited the Landolt-Arbenz pen shop on the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. This venerable shop has been in business since 1882 (by Swiss standards, almost a newcomer!). I got to try out several pens, but didn't purchase any. What I did get were several bottles of ink: Montblanc Toffee Brown, Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black, Pelikan 4001 Turquoise, and Landolt-Arbenz Konigsblau. The last is their house brand ink and manufactured in Italy.

It's not most exciting ink ever made but I like the bottle Is it expensive?

Fairly expensive, at least by my standards: 22 Swiss Francs for a 80 ml bottle. The bottle is attractive, but not that practical. Once it's half empty, you'd have a hard time directly filling a pen because it's so shallow.
