guess the ink!

[BayesianPrior]

Diamine 1864 Blue-Black?

[Pterodactylus]

Diamine 1864 Blue-Black?

Nein, also not 1864 Blue-Black

[TSherbs]

Nope...... but wait as far as I can see is De Atramentis Shakespeare a red ink........ do you see any red in my sample?

I see no red in yours nor in mine.

Have DeA changed the Shakespeare ink? Mine is a dark oxblood/mahogany colour.

My bad. I was looking at the wrong sample bottle (obviously, I recently got some samples and don't know them that well yet.)

It is my DeA Sherlock Holmes that I thought looked a bit in this blue range.

[datainadequate]

One of my favourites, and sadly under-appreciated.

Reader, I purchased a bottle.

[Pterodactylus]

It's also not Sherlock Holmes.

[Pterodactylus]

Come on guys/gals this can't be all... so few guesses, are you already defeated?

[Chrissy]

Diamine Midnight?

[Pterodactylus]

No, not Midnight Chrissy.

Hint: It's a classical blue-black

[migo984]

I don't own many blue-blacks as I'm generally not a fan, so complete guess ..... Pelikan 4001 B-B?

[datainadequate]

Sheaffer Skrip Blue/Black?

[grainweevil]

One of my favourites, and sadly under-appreciated.

Reader, I purchased a bottle.

Oooo, now I hope it'll live up to my billing. Don't put it in a Pilot - Atacama writers will not bring out its best.

I don't own many blue-blacks as I'm generally not a fan, so complete guess ..... Pelikan 4001 B-B?

Ack, that's what I was going to go for. Um, er... Lamy Blue-black? <- Has no idea.

[Chrissy]

Waterman Mysterious Blue? Or whatever Waterman Blue-black was called before it became 'mysterious'?

Rohrer & Klingner - Leipziger Schwarz

[Pterodactylus]

Leipziger Schwarz is a Black ink Schwarz=Black

But anyway, we have a winner and it is ....... Migo !

It is Pelikan 4001 Blau-Schwarz (Blue-Black).
It's a classic high performance ink since many decades (also contains a little potion of iron gall).
I love it, it's one of my favorite ones


I thought it would be funny to take also a 4001 after the last 4001.

Ah, that was sneaky funny I must admit is was a completely random guess as I've never used that ink. But it looks good in your writing and sketch sample.

I'll try to get another ink posted as soon as I can.

I fell for the "surely it can't be another 4001" spurious line of thinking

I've fallen for it before with two MBs in a row, and still fell for it.

[migo984]

I'll have to post a pic of the next ink in the morning. It is so dull and overcast here; I'll never get a good colour match. I'll do it first thing.
