Well, we did it again! Bought some ink, didn't screw it down tight enough and this time it was a Montblanc ink bottle box that contained the explosion of Turquoise ink carried on a couple of flights :)

 

This is such a beautiful color, it was no accident we found it at a wonderful MB dealer in Nassau! Now that the Ink of Friendship is discontinued, I might have to beg for more!

This is the original Montblanc turquoise ink as the IOF only came out in the square bottle.

 

It just so happens that I have a bottle that has never been used. :rolleyes:

Sorry you lost some. What a great color!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison

Beautiful color! Anything that is readily available today that is very similar?

 

Perhaps Diamine Beau Blue or Aqua Lagoon?

 

I was able to score a bottle of this on eBay last week and it is really stunning.

 

My bottle was labeled "Made in West Germany"

 

Congrats!

 

Sorry you lost some. What a great color!

 

Thanks Amberlea!

 

I would definitely like to get a bottle of this colour. It is gorgeous! :wub:

 

Thanks Saskia! The dealer is right in Nassau; I didn't have any luck, but I know he's got a few bottles left!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
