Could they have changed the color and not updated the website? I can't see them offering the ink in one color for the German label and another color for the English label. Strange.

 

I checked here and found a silver gray in the ink reviews.

Dear Jan

 

Maron refers to Chestnut.

And if I see the color I think they even meant the roasted ones... :)

Dear Jan what a coincident

 

I was just loading doen a picture of Chestnuts too

 

The Chestnut is usually called Kastanie in German. But in some regions for instance Tyrol where I live and in Northern Italy it is known by the Name Marone or Maroni (pl.)

It derives from Italian. North Tyrolis hte austrian Part of Tyrol and south Tyrol is the german speaking Part of Northern Italy

Das leben ist wie ein Perpetuum Mobile mit ein Mangel..... Immer im Bewegung jedoch nicht unendlich. (life is like a troubled Perpetuum Mobile ever moving but not for ever)

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Translator apps aren't great. Mine showed that Marone in German was chestnut in (American) English. I didn't try the reverse search of putting chestnut in English to see what would come up in German.

 

I'll do that now.

 

Ah ha! It came up Kastanie.

I still wonder why the color was different on the label and probably in the bottle. I don't have mine yet... waiting for my brother to ship my three bottles of ink. Has anyone owned the Wagner version? If so, what color was it?

Dr Jansen answered my email and said Marone was indeed the right color for De A Richard Wagner. He kindly offered to send me a bottle of the right version/color.

      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
