Sorry, no. It's clearly one of the ones for the German market, but I don't know those. And my high school German is too rusty to decipher what the label says.

I'm not even sure of all the ones for the UK market, except Brexit (I bought a bottle of that last fall at the Commonwealth Pen show, but it's a bit light to be good for a lot of uses; mostly it was an excuse to get another Charlie pen :rolleyes:, because Nathan didn't have the Boston Safety pens ready (I thought about getting a couple of the Committee of Safety inks, but since the pens weren't available there was no point).

Yes, about the colour it says Prussian Blue. The two lines at the bottom only refer to the characteristics, document proof and the other in red means fake proof

That was actually going to be my completely uninformed guess but then I looked up a bunch of Goulet bottles and their labels differed so wildly from their contents I gave up. Amusing

Hmmm. I wonder if the color really is Prussian blue.... Which I remember somewhat fondly from back when I was an art major in college.

Prussian Blue is so complex and variable it's hard to say no. I suspect they captured its brighter tones. But the best pen-friendly imitation I've seen is Sailor Sei Boku. It's so close in color and shading that I had to do a chemical test to prove it's synthetic and not "real" Prussian Blue. Edited by Corona688

I know Goulet already got back to the OP about this, but I wanted to offer this link (goulet video) which has a little bit of info about it.

 

hope this is helpful

 

skip to 3m 32s to see the Prussian Blue part

Just give me the Parker 51s and nobody needs to get hurt.

      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
