My Parker Pennman sapphire cartridges don't have it either....no sheen, nothing special in any way.:crybaby:And not so vibrantly blue.

   Hmm, I wonder if there were differences in batches. Some look very dark blue to me, very like Waterman’s Serenity Blue, and others have some turquoise leanings and have sheen. 
 

  I was reminded of you, Bo Bo, because I saw a Sonnecken nib and feed on eBay.

Unfortunately, Soennecken was always two levels higher than my budget.....the MP's were mostly live auction wins...where I was chasing another pen.

And I've run into none of the Soennecken's there.

 

In the '50s Soennecken made the best fountain pen in the world.

 

Later Soennecken nibs had Degussa (Osmia) nibs, as they lost the war. They didn't jump into the ball point market soon enough like MB & Pelikan, so died.

 

Geha's slightly better/more springy nibs be that gold or steel (not counting the school pens)...were better than Pelikans. Geha used Degussa nibs.

Two posters that I respect(ed) haven't seen in a hell of a long time; don't know if they passed or not, mentioned that. I took 4-5 Pelikans vs 4-5 Geha's of the '50-60's era and found it to be true. Have to be OCD/nit picky to find that out.

 

I have small hand full of steel Degussa superflex nibs; Easy Full Flex by my system.

I se no reason that Degussa couldn't have made gold wet noodles for Soennecken if wished.

I have no idea when my finest Wet Noodle Soennecken nib was made and by whom.

I was quite happy with three, then spun around in a circle until dizzy and find out with out trying I have 6-7 Wet Noodles......................:unsure: I still haven't taken the time to learn to write with them.....Just basic scribbling.

 

I would expect a Sonnecken nib to be At Least semi-flex.

 

 

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

Very nice match, pen to ink.... but as I've mentioned before my Penman Sapphire is much darker than yours and leans toward a very dark teal.

I know, PGS;s Penman Sapphire is very vibrantly blue....  

 

I just took out my Penman Sapphire.  the box has '99 written on it.  I wrote some samples on Optik paper because we all have it.  I used two dip pen nibs.  A Pilot Fine and a Kaigelu Medium which is a M-B

I would have been happy had my PMS shaded. Bluer than the dark sample....Blue...darker than 4001 royal blue.........I obviously do PPS in the middle of other colors of inks , in I can't rack my mind to match a blue.

....................................

Because Degussa took the nib factory of Osmia (who was always broke) for debt in 1932, they had to continue making Osmia nibs....and nibs for all the many companies Osmia made nibs for...for the longest time Degussa was the Bock of it's day. ...As a side business to manufacturing and dealing in gold and silver....as they still do.

 

Having maxi-semi-flex from 4-5 different German companies, WAG'ed that those companies got which ever  gold wheel  was available due to bookkeeper or warehouse stupidity...in none of the other company's advertised a more bouncy semi-flex.

Advertising cost lots of extra money....and Osmia had that market....is my only explanation of why maxi is...so hard to find, or recognize if one finds it.

As a noobie....I knew nothing of maxi-semi-flex...in I'd not invented the term yet. The pen that started my addiction, O-F-C mdl 540.ndEYUCd.jpg

And my first 400nn were both Maxi-semi-flex.........

The first I thought it was that sopping wet line noobies wanted  some 15 years ago.....and was glad enough the Pelikan was semi-flex....and didn't learn better until much later.

My Rupp nib....1922-70, was my WoW....that certainly is a maxi-semi-flex. And found 5 of my 20 semi-flex were maxi's.:yikes:

 

......................Do I want a maxi more than semi??? Yep.

Do I push maxi for the easier fancy...Nope...Too Lazy.

I do have many types of paper, as well as inks (although so far it may seem like I'm a Herbin shill). I'm trying to pick inks according to my perceived character of each pen, rather than seeking mere color-matching.

That said, I'm not so sure about the M1000*; any suggestions?

 

 

*I've paired married my M805 Stresemann permanently to GvFC "Stone Grey" and I'm not budging 😛

Too big for me, I even find an 800 too big for me, but I have a number of Vintage semi-flex stripped 400's like that.

:wub:  that ink.............and I'd no idea of it.

Some of my best shading inks are Herbin.

Thanks for telling me about that ink.:thumbup:

That ink is very pretty, @lamarax- as is your Pelikan. It is tad larger than my wont, but those M1000 nibs are very nice. The ink is a very good match. The shading is like the semitransparent barrel. I am not necessarily a matchy person in terms of ink, but when it does happen, I get a kick out of it. Herbin is such good ink when paired with a wet German nib. I love Iroful paper as well.

We now turn to a euro-japanese mash! Sailor #752 is a gorgeous deep purple ink, that doesn't show true in the photo because my phone is (bleep)!

 

(Next comes the japanese-euro mash. Stay tuned!)

😍 I love it! I love the classic Doué! I have that in the 146 version, and it's the most extravagant MB issue that I'd personally ever touch again (well, except maybe for a couple of the heritage editions 😀)

 

Your mashup wins! What's the paper tho?

  Same as the last sample, Sanrio China Daolin paper. 
 

  Thank you for the compliment; this 144 and a matching 114 Mozart Mini are my latest pen show finds. I prefer the smaller pens. I hope to one day buy a glacier doué in the Classique size.

      No replies required to my complaints about the Pelikan. A friend came to the rescue with some very magnification equipment - with the images thrown to a latge high res screen. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Mercian for the reply. I had been using the same paper & ink for sometime when the "singing" started. I have a theory but no proof that nibs get damaged when capping the pen. 👍
    • Mercian 22 Oct 22:28
      @FineFinerFinest: sometimes nib-'singing' can be lessened - or even cured - by changing the ink that one is putting through the pen, or the paper that one is using. N.b. *sometimes*. Good luck

      I'm not expecting any replies to my question about the singing Pelikan nib. It seems, from reading the background, that I am not alone. It's a nice pen. It's such a pity Pelikan can't make decent nibs. I have occasionally met users who tell me how wonderful their Pelikan nib is. I've spent enough money to know that not everyone has this experience. I've worked on nibs occasionally over forty years with great success. This one has me beaten. I won't be buying any more Pelikan pens. 👎
    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 4:27

    • T.D. Rabbit 31 July 18:58
      Ahh okay, thanks!
    • Scribs 29 July 18:51
      @ TDRabbit, even better would be in Creative Expressions area, subform The Write Stuff
    • T.D. Rabbit 29 July 11:40
      Okay, thanks!
    • JungleJim 29 July 0:46
      @T.D. Rabbit Try posting it in the "Chatter Forum". You have to be logged in to see it.

      Hello! Is there a thread anywhere 'round here where one can post self-composed poetry? If not, would it be alright if I made one? I searched on google, but to no avail...

      I have several Parker Roller Ball & Fiber Tip refills in the original packaging. Where and how do I sell them? The couple that I've opened the ink still flowed when put to paper. Also if a pen would take the foller ball refill then it should take the fiber tip as well? Anyway it's been awhile and I'm want to take my message collection beyond the few pieces that I have... Meaning I don't have a Parker these refills will fit in 🙄

      Recently was lucky enough to buy a pristine example of the CF crocodile ball with the gold plating. Then of course I faced the same problem we all have over the years ,of trying to find e refill. Fortunately I discovered one here in the U.K. I wonder if there are other sources which exist in other countries, by the way they were not cheap pen

      Somewhat confusing and off-putting ones, as said to me by my very honest friends. I don't have an X account though :<

      I have a Conway Stewart Trafalgar set. It was previously owned by actor Russell Crowe and includes a letter from him. Can anyone help me with assessing its value?
    • Sailor Kenshin 15 July 17:41
      There must be a couple of places here to share artworks.
    • T.D. Rabbit 15 July 12:45
      Hullo! I really like making ink doodles, and I'd like to share a few. Anywhere on the site I can do so? Thanks in advance!
    • Sailor Kenshin 6 July 17:58
      Pay It Forward.
    • AndWhoDisguisedAs 6 July 16:59

    • JungleJim 3 July 16:14
      @Bill Wood-- just look at the message below you that was posted by @PAKMAN. He is a moderator here on the forums.
    • Bill Wood 2 July 14:24
      Just checking on a classified section and where we are with that. Many thanks. Bill
    • PAKMAN 29 June 1:57
      @inky1 The software for the classified stopped working with the forum. So no we don't have a sales section anymore at FPN
    • inky1 28 June 16:49
      I am not sure which is the classifieds section
    • inky1 28 June 16:46
      IIs there a Fountain Pen Sales board anywhere on here?
    • dave c 25 June 19:01
      Hi. Anybody ever heard about a Royal Puck Pen. Very small but good looking.
    • Eppie_Matts 23 June 19:25
      Thanks! I've just ordered some #6's to experiment with.
    • Al-fresco 21 June 12:11
      @Eppie_Matts Shouldn't be a problem - I've just put a Bock #6 Titanium into a La Grande Bellezza section. Went straight in without any problem.
    • Curiousone11 21 June 4:35
      Any recommendations on anyone who specializes in original pen patents?
    • Eppie_Matts 20 June 1:32
      Hi all - I'm new to experimenting with pens and nibs. Can I put a bock 6 on a Pineider? Thanks!
    • penned in 16 June 17:33
      Hi, I'm new to this forum and was wondering where is the best place to sell a Montblanc ballpoint pen? Are ballpoints allowed here? It's a beautiful pen that deserves a great listing. Thanks.
    • ChrisUrbane 9 June 3:16

      I just noticed that the oppsing team of the game I watched last night had a player named Biro in their lineup. He must be part of Marsell the oily magician’s cadre
    • Penguincollector 30 May 14:57
      Oof @beechwood, that’s awful.
    • Beechwood 30 May 1:28
      @Penguincollector I spilled a bottle of ink, picked it up by the cap and the bottle fell to the floor, ruined a carpet and took hours to clean up. Back to pencils FTTB.
    • Penguincollector 26 May 23:26
      I spilled shimmer ink on my lap, and worse, on my floor. It cleaned up with no trace, but I lost about 1/4 of the 15 mL bottle 🥲
