146 F nib with Hitchcock red ink.

They sell Hitchcock ink??? Please say they do?

[HBlaine]

No writing this morning, but last night I was using a new acquired late-model 234 1/2 with a great B flex nib. Decided to keep it simple and filled it with vintage Sheaffer Blue-Black.

 

A very fun pen to use.

I'm currently on a work trip. So I decided to take my Traveller with me as that's what it was designed for.

 

Using Mystery Black Gold cartridges.

It is perfectly normal.

If I write on very shiny paper it turns into a greenishblack.

 

I remember when I tested my fp in the boutique the nib of my colllodi was a bit green. The assistantmanager said that they therefore could see if a customer had used MB ink or not (if it was filled with black ink)

Thank you for your post.

It was the first one after two days of offline of FPN.

I think I had some serious withdrawl symptoms.

 

Almost pulled out every plug of the electronicaldevice in my house and work to check if that was the problem and my "F5"-button is also a bit faded now! :roflmho:

 

Meanwhile I could enjoy my pens ofcourse.

[spcitrin]

Thank god it wasnt just me. I was going through some withdrawal issues as well lol.

Thanks for that. The MB story surprises me though, surely other MB inks dont leave traces of another colour to help the 'ink police' with their enquiries ?

Today I'm using a very classical combination: MB 149 (from the late 80s, 14k nib and ebonite feed, with M nib) filled with Montblanc Royal blue
