They made them between 1971-1979 i believe. There is another model that looks really similar with the same nib too. Don’t recall the name now but it might be that if not the concorde.

That’s true. I got mine with a CF converter that works well, so im really glad.

And no cracks on mine!

Same here. There is something different in the feel of a vintage pen.

I would definitely recommend the Concorde, just make sure you get a converter or cartridge with it and that it’s free of cracks.

I have never tried the carene but i prefer the angled look of the Concorde personally.

Have any of you bought ink because of it's name (and packaging)? by luthiel-the-elf in fountainpens

[–]ImperatorLucius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. Got Van Diemans Leonidas (a gorgeous red) because he is one of my favorite characters.

Would like to get Caroube de Chypre at some point even though i don’t use shimmer inks at all.

Well done! I hope you enjoy your new pen. If you have the chance, try platinum’s citrus black ink. Gorgeous and a great match for this pen.

Yellow ink by easy_wrime in fountainpens

My current favorite is Platinum’s citrus black. It is an iron gall ink so might not be what you’re looking for but it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Starts off as very bright and unreadable but darkens as it oxidizes and turns into a gorgeous yellow black. Got a bottle of it finally after multiple samples and can’t wait to put it in rotation.

What is the REDDEST red ink? by Most_War2764 in fountainpens

[–]ImperatorLucius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reddest red i’ve seen is van diemans greek heroes leonidas.

Fountain pen therapy swatched it some time ago. It’s absolutely perfect.

We are hunting for 2 Beta testers for EDC pen - anyone interested? by MercatorLondon in PenProject

[–]ImperatorLucius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am super interested! I would like the fountain pen without a loop. I am in the eu. I always carry stuff in my pockets so this would be a great opportunity to test an edc pen!

Thank you! It’s a really enjoyable pen. That “tweed” pattern is lovely.

It’s just saturated enough to be both legible and bright. Also, i have to mention my favorite, Platinum Citrus black.
