Superb Pairing

~ The ink shown above has been a pleasure to use in wider-nibbed Montblanc fountain pens.

Shown above with a Pelikan Classic M120 Iconic Blue Fritz Schimpf Italic B Grind pen, Fritz Schimpf Fritzrot Rusty Red ink is well-behaved, easy to flush from nibs, and smoothly writes on quality paper.

I've found that the moderately darker hue is suitable for workplace tasks, never seeming overly bright.

I'll be using it regularly in Montblanc fountain pens which are primarily used to write comments on student research or experimental manuscripts.

Notre Dame

Wow Tom, what an amazing tribute photo..! As ever, you never cease to amaze with the quality and thought of your endeavored posts!

It is a magnificent shame that such a monumental edifice was partially destroyed by the old fire... a source of destruction to so much of the ancients...!

 

As for the strawberry photo, I loved it! Nature and pens go so well together...!

Thank you for your very kind comments.

The 145 “Les Splendeurs de Paris” M nib writes reasonably fine if lightly held.

It performs especially well on Fritz Schimpf Feinpost paper, which brings out the best in both nibs and inks.

I've never heard of 254s or wing nibs. After reading your question, I asked others what it meant.
