Gorgeous. That one's going on the list for sure.

It would be interesting to see this side-by-side with some FPN brown.

Galileo barely has any shading compared to Golden Brown. Galileo is redder, a rust. It is a bit flat.

If you click here, you should be able to see them both on the same scan. (Use the magnifying glass in the top right to zoom). The top Golden Brown is more accurate, because the lower one in the Kaweco Ink Ball had separated from sitting in the pen too long. Golden Brown does that (make sure you mix the bottle before you fill!!), which is one of its drawbacks...

 

I also find it a bit dry in some nibs. But I've decided, "who cares" lately and am going to try to use this one more than the others. Being semi-bulletproof (the yellow washes off to leave a charcoal grey) it is phenomenal.
