This ink is only available in Fritzschimpf's store located in Tubingen, Germany. You can also find it on their website.

It retails for 4.95e and comes in a 30ml bottle.

I went to the website and I could not locate the above ink..

 

Is it an in house brand?

 

All I could locate were the normal brands...Pelikan, Mont Blanc etc...

 

Also, I thought I had been to the site previously and it was also in English..?

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

Here is the link: http://www.fritz-schimpf.de/Schreibgeraete/Zubehoer/Fritzrot-Fritz-Schimpf-Sonderedition-135-Jahre.html

I don't know about the site being in English though, I bought it from the store.

 

I like that. Is it more pink than burgundy?

That might be the scan. I can see some pink, but also some burgundy. Definitely check out the link above, the swab is pretty much spot on.

Thank-you for the prompt reply...I really like the color...

 

I went back again and could not locate a page that reflected all of their IN HOUSE brand Inks...? I would like to see what other colors they have...

The ink is cheap, but having it sent to you in the US is expensive. They asked for 30 euros to send it.

 

I guess it's not much more than ordering Jentle Grenade, which is about the same color (though I do really like Fitzrot).

 

Oster Asterquiza Rot is somewhat close, too.

I have this ink as it was sent as a "freebie" with a pen I ordered a couple of years ago. It's a lovely colour, thanks for reminding me.

It looks like a great ink...interesting enough that I was interested in purchasing some.

 

Communicated with Fritzschimpf and the issue is the shipping cost....they only offer one shipping option and it cost 30 euros...

 

From Germany many vendors offer Registered Mail to the USA...requires a signature for delivery...and it typically costs 10 euros.

 

Fritzschimpf was unwilling to go that route..I even offered to take the risk of loss...but no go.

 

Oh well, Diamine Oxblood looks very very similar...

OhhOhhh! They need to post swatches. Bulk buys make the shipping more affordable. And I like that color.

I was gifted this ink bottle in 2016 when I bought some Inks, Pen cases & a Mont Blanc Pen from Fritzschkrimpf shop in Tübingen.

This establishment is there from just after the German Unification of 1871 happened, I suppose.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
