    I‘m currently preparing something and take a picture tomorrow with daylight.

    I can already tell it will be not a blue ink.
    Looking forward to seeing it. Wondering if it is one of your lovely sketches

    Thanks for your kind words, yes it will be a sketch.

    But for those who prefer a writing sample I will provide also something written.

    Since on my screen it looks like a saturated red that's slightly leaning towards pink, my first guess will be Iroshizuku Bishamonten.

    Bishamonten is too pink and it is not a Iroshizuku Ink.

    The pink only appears in the wash when it is quite diluted, so looking at the wash might be misleading,

    The ink is a really bright red, that does not really lean towards pink or orange.
    I might would call it a classical bright red.

    The ink behaves really well and dries quite fast.
    It show very little water resistance and shading.

    It is on the market since quite a while and is still available.


    @All
    Donˋt be shy keep the guesses coming.

    Sheaffer Skrip Red is a very good color match.

    But unfortunately the unknown ink is not Skrip Red.....

    Also a really good guess, but Matador is a bit darker than the unknown ink.

    Also, the fact that you didn't cross the t in the first "cultures" is making me twitch...

    I only have one red like this in my collection, so I’ll guess MB corn poppy red.

    Now you got me....... what a tremendous flaw I really donˋt know how this could happen ..... I apologize for my sloppy writing.




    Also a really good guess, but no it is not a Robert Oster ink.

    In fact it is no Australian ink.

    Keep the guesses coming.

    Now we gain some speed, it seems that some Geeks woke up and starting to play with me.

    Good !!!

    Mulrich, also an excellent guess, I do not own Corn Poppy Red, but also this ink seems to be a very good color match.
    There are a couple bright red inks which almost could be twins, some we had already guessed before, some are still unmentioned.

    But no..... it is also not a Montblanc ink.


    Keep it coming, you all are on a good track. (and I already thought it would be too easy ...... And to be honest I’m glad that nobody guessed it right away ..... this makes the game so much more interesting... )

    Not bad Azkid, but it is not Oriental Red.
    For me it seems that Oriental (just as Matador) is a bit too dark.

    Thanks a lot Yazeh


    And yes excellent guess, another really good color match...

    But unfortunately the unknown ink is not a Waterman ink.

    Keep the guesses coming, with every guess you sort out a very similar ink.
    It’s only a question of time until you get the right one.

    I almost forgot how entertaining this thread could be, it’s been quite a while since I participated regularly.
