guess the ink!

[mizgeorge]

How about the iconic and legendary - Parker Penman Sapphire

And of course, that's exactly what it is (rock, legend, Parker - it was all there!) I'd just been cleaning and reinking a couple of pens, and couldn't resist

Well done DrPenfection!!! Over to you whenever you have time.

Whatever this ink is, I must have it! (This is going to be unobtainable, isn't it?)
I'm pretty sure this is wrong based on sheen and the guitars Brian May apparently preferred, but....
Diamine Pelham Blue?

Sadly, yes, it's pretty hard to find these days (though you can occasionally find a decently priced bottle). There are some decent alternatives, but nothing quite matches it for me!

I have no idea what this ink is, as there are so many greenish blues with red in them and I know nothing about pop stars or Freddie Mercury; but thank you for demonstrating that a Paker 51 can write so wet!

LOL - the quote was more a way to get the right words in than to refer to Freddie - but yes, a P51 should write decently wet - this is probably the driest of my small collection, but is still an absolute joy to use.

Thank you mizgeorge!

But there is only one Parker Penman Sapphire. I have one cartridge left (sniff. . . sniff. . . sniff).

I will have something for you all shortly. It will likely be pretty easy since it is one of the pens I have inked but need to finish up to clean.

Be back soon!

Bravo @ DeP.... I wonder if it's a wondrous shade of blue?

Here we go with another exciting round of "guess that ink!"

I know that you were expecting another gorgeous blue ink from me. I am so sorry to disappoint, but I do have a number of other inks in colors other than blue.

This ink was written from a Lamy Studio Wild Rubine with 18kM nib and written on Rhodia dot A5 paper.

Here is the scan: 2021 08 13-3.jpg


Yes, this ink did smudge a bit on the "drops" where the ink was very heavy.

Here are a couple of photos:

I imagine that this will be easy, and I expect that someone will guess this in the first round.

Yes, the quote is remotely related. How? Ahh . . . that is the question.

Diamine Red Dragon?

[DrPenfection]

Terrific guess, but unfortunately not.

De Atramentis Dante

Noodlers Nikita (Winnie's mate Nikki K)
Mont Blanc Corn Poppy Red (since we're doing iconic!)
Noodlers Bernanke Red (something to do with bankers and hell...)
Noodlers Empire Red (well I can make the connection...)

Now I'm going to go and rummage in my swatches (as they say!)

Off the top of my head, I want to say Sheaffer Inferno...
I'm not even sure it's available yet though!

No on Noodlers, though.

How I wish it was MB Corn Poppy Red! I haven't had any for several years. sniff . . .sniff . . .sniff
