I have a bit of a passion for Burma (Myanmar) and am on the cusp of purchasing one, the other, or both of J. Herbin Ambre de Birmanie and Noodlers V-Mail Burma Road Brown. I'm concerned that the Herbin ink will lack the intensity that I desire. I have also never tried any of the Noodlers inks and do not know how they will perform in my pens. My other handicap is the lack of any of the 'vials' that all seem to be using.
What I want:
J. Herbin Ambre de Birmanie
Noodlers V-Mail Burma Road Brown
What I have:
MontBlanc Black
J. Herbin Violette Pensee
J. Herbin Vert Olive
3 International Cartridges of J. Herbin Bleu Myosotis
4 Parker Quink Permanent Black Cartridges
What I propose:
I'd love to receive either of the two inks that I mention. If you send me some vials, I'll be happy to fill them with any of the bottled inks that I have. If you'd like to send me either of the two inks that I mention and would like any of the cartridges that I have, let me know.
Cheers,
vieuxcarre

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

WTB SAMPLE Vials *FULL* of Waterman Green and Parker Quink Blue-Black
I am working on a Parker Penman Sapphire "replacement" recipe with the help of master mixter D.C.Waites. I already have a Noodler's based one, This one is a PR based.
I will buy my own bottle of "root" ink for this recipe (PR American Blue) as I'll use that probably sooner or later by itself. HOWEVER, IF this recipe doesn't work out for me, I'd have no use whatsoever for any sizable amount of both these other two ingredient inks.
I DO need AT LEAST a Dillo sized vial FULL or each of these, a bit larger sample would be even nicer and of course, I'd
pay some more for that too.
If anyone can fix me up, I'd greatly appreciate it and will make it worth your while.
