Noodler's Prime of the Commons - Quick Review

[mackthepen]

This is my first review - and it's a quick one I'm afraid - maybe more details later.

 

Noodler's Prime of the Commons arrived in the post this morning so i flushed out my Pelikan M200 (fine 14kt gold nib) and filled it up, and have been using it at work all day.

 

It's fantastic! The colour is possibly more widely acceptable than my current favourite (La Reine Mauve) and the handling is better, whilst also being quite a lot cheaper.

 

The bottle certainly looked green when I opened it, and when the ink is wet it is distinctly green, but it dries to a more green-blue-black/blue-grey - almost the feldgrau (Field Grey) of the WW2 German army uniforms (if my memory of Airfix paints from childhood is correct).

It appears to have the green tint found in most Noodler's Blue-Black combinations.

Thanks for the review--I've often wondered what this looked like.

Great ink. I've added a comment to the other post on this colour.

I thought I read elsewhere on FPN that this is the same ink as Noodler's Legal Lapis.

It is not.

I agree, it's not.

 

It is a really good ink though and I would like to see it more widely available.. . Anyone listening ? Noodler's ? Nathan ?

+1 to all of the above.
