Büroservice Bergmann Iron gall Red

[Yazeh]

Another great ink for Iron gall ink lovers,
I discovered these ink thanks to @christof
They are made in Germany and exclusively sold from this site, by the maker:
https://www.kalligraphie-shop.com/ep...roducts/32000T
They come in 2 colours: red and blue. Suffice to say, the blue is waterproof, while the red is water resistant.
The price, plus shipping to Canada for two bottles was 16€. That's 8€ a bottle.

The bottles look a lot like De Atramentis'.
As you can see the labels are very elegant, though not very clear.
I can discern:
the name: Büroservice Bergmann
Iron gall ink
30 ml/ 1 fl oz.

I hope some of our German speaking members can translate the surrounding text:
Note the beautiful red dye:

Now about the red IG ink. It's a wet ink, slightly dry, i.e, it's not lubricated like Doyou
Chroma:

The ink write a bright red, which in time darkens in a gorgeous dark burgundy

This is by no means waterproof but it is quite water resistant, depending paper, how long the text has been written:

Mnemosyne paper: (immediately after drying)

Waiting after two days: (before /after)

Very absorbent cheap paper: 2 days after - Not so good

I have no ink close to this ink, while the Kala looks similar in the scan, it's more of a purple/brown, while BN is Dark burgundy

and finally, I'll leave you with an artwork, I did part of Inktober.
The top background is the IG blue which has turned black, the middle is the IG red and the bottom is Gutenberg Urkundentinten G10.
The paper is a Canson watercolour paper.

Yep. I'm preparing the review. The scans are done. However, if your impatient, here is Christof's excellent review:
I used Safari translator to read it. But the images are eye candy enough
