Thank you so very much for your kindness. With computer and phone screens it can be hard to see differences in ink. Your additional insights are very helpful.

 

Now, let's get back to creating a Fritz Schimpf 149 cursive italic 100 pen. Or a small signature cursive italic would work even better! ;)

 

+1!

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

What a wonderful proposal!

Either such pen would be a no-brainer purchase.

Yes, it's very kind of the Fritz Schimpf staff to provide this information with helpful comparison images.

Many thanks!

A Montblanc x Fritz Schimpf Cursive Italic based on a Montblanc 149 is on our wishlist....

Put me on that list as well! I brought my 146 Special Italic to the Dallas Pen Club meeting this morning, where it was much admired.

Great!

I'd be highly interested in such a pen.

Thank you so much for listening to customer preferences.

This thread has been brought to the attention of several Montblanc collectors in East Asia.

Two of them said that they'd almost certainly purchase a Montblanc 149 Cursive Italic if it were offered.

That's two in addition to me.

I hope that in due time it may come to pass.

Dear Fritz Schimpf,

 

May I enquire which pen you used to write that sample with? I very much like the line of it.

Thank you Tom. We will keep this in mind.

 

 

And compare to Miles Davis blue ?

 

Compared to Miles Davis Blue the Homer ink has a richer, stronger blue color and it is less baby and more ocean blue.

Thank you. We used a Pelikan M205 "B" (broad) steel nib with an cursive italic grind done to our specifications.

Thank you for listening to feedback.

If such a pen is ever offered, I'll be sure to buy a couple of bottles of your Fritzrot ink, as it has a lovely color.

Thank you very much.

 

You must be able to read minds.

Fritzrot has received today three siblings:

gewitterwolke [stormy blue],

sirimiri [rainy grey] and

sundowner [rich orange].

I like the Sundowner and gray the best, I think, but the whole set looks lovely.

When I visited your easy-to-navigate Web site, I saw the three inks joining Fritzrot.

I then came here to mention my interest in them, finding this post.

Thank you for the valuable information and images.

After seeing these, were I to purchase a proposed Fritz Schimpf 149 Cursive Italic, I'd be sure to order all four Fritz Schimpf inks.

I'm in the queue with Zdenek. As are three friends in East Asia who feel that a Cursive Italic 149 is an idea whose time has come.

With Ghost Plane I feel that the new inks are a welcome offering.

I especially appreciate the way that their respective colors are presented in your Web site.

Very, very nice.

Homer famously wrote of the "wine-dark sea", a phrase that has led many to conclude that the ancient Greeks were blind to the colour blue. I was half-expecting Homer Blue to be some shade of burgundy.

Homer Greek Blue is tempting .... I wonder how it compares to Boheme Blue, which is my favourite MB ink?

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

      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
