Loaded Bronze today. Definitely not a bronze color but nice though.

 

Just a nice subtle orange.

 

Bronze rings hues of gold/brown, which are nowhere to be found. Fancy getting an orange 'bronze medal'. biggrin.png

Try it in a 'B' or '1.1i' nib, if possible. BB would be ideal.

I have a Lamy Joy with a 1.5 nib, I will fill it with Bronze. Thank you for the suggestion!

1.5i is a good choice too. thumbup.gif

I don't see much shading in a 1.1 stub. It's not a heavy shading ink.

Here's a scan of Bronze, and a photo comparison with some other oranges. Bronze is unusual in that has a peach cast to it compared to some of the other oranges I've sued or sampled.

You got an interesting amount of shading with it. My TWSBI 1.1 stub has absolutely zero.

I saw a bronze Lamy Al-Star in person at La Stilografica in Milan a couple of days ago, where it was helpfully placed diagonally over other color Al-Stars and Safaris, and my fear that it would be some garish orange-gold hue are completely unfounded. It’s a nice, almost muted bronze color, looks sophisticated. Will probably get one if I see a particularly good deal. I’ll add a photograph soon.

Looking at it with the others, I would go with the bronze and the grey.

I got my Bronze Al-Star and cartridges for Christmas. The pen has a F nib. The Bronze ink seems a bit pale. This is another pale orange I have gotten. Birmingham Einstein Cadmium Orange seems light to me too.

 

I like the pen color. Photography does not always show items for the best.

      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
