Which Green Black Ink Is This..?

Recommended Posts

Hello! I've bought some second-hand fountain pens, which arrived the day before ysterday.

Most still had some ink in them, a few dried, so I've let them soak for two days.

This particular ink was in a still functioning as is pen and kind of struck me:

I thought it was Noodler's zhivago at first (little blob below it) but it's a more intense green. It really looks almost black in the darker parts.

The previous owner thought it might have been Robert Oyster green black, but wasn't sure since she had over 800 colors.. 😂

Any guesses whether that may be the color? Or any other guesses?

I really like it.. 😂 Any help is appreciated!

Ah sorry, that 'gold' might just be lamp light 😅 Between working full time an short winter days I just haven't been able to photograph in sunlight just yet.

 

Thank you for the suggestion 🙂

I've ordered a sample of Diamine green-black with my last ink order 🙂

I'll let you know whether it's a match or not.

Meanwhile, it's a fun page in my bullet journal 😂

 

(sorry, still not taken in daylight.. 😅)

Finally got around to test Diamine green-black. It's not a match, the green is brighter. (Still a gorgeous color, though 😂)

 

The 'mystery ink' basically looks like a 50-50 mix of Zhivago and Diamine green-black. The search continues.

Sailor Tokiwa Matsu, perhaps.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

      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
