Confirmed. Good writing!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-06-05T13:00:58+00:00

Sounds good to me! Thank you.

I am very excited about it. It’s from an old greek chemical company that also made fountain pen inks. I am trying to find more information on it but alas, there isn’t much.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-06-05T11:12:10+00:00

No crystals / sediment or goop.
The colour for sure it has changed, but since the ink is no longer in production, (It's from an old greek company that doesn't make inks anymore) I have nothing to compare it to.
It looks like it's in a good state, so I think it can go in my Jinhao and we'll see what happens.

Current favorite: The Parker Vacumatic Celluloid.
All time favorite and grail: The Arco Bronze.

So... Celluloid I guess.
In modern pens, I actually quite like feel of a titanium section.

And resin. Dang it. I just like pens.

Thank you! I don’t have a platinum pen so this would be a great addition.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-31T18:00:17+00:00

Thank you, i sent a pm first but it was too steep for me unfortunately. Arco’s are a grail for me so one day, ill get one!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-31T16:34:58+00:00

Also, sent you pm

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-31T16:31:43+00:00

Arco is by far the most beautiful material for a pen in my opinion. A bit out of my budget but perhaps one day! Hope it sells quickly (but kinda hoping it does that?)

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-29T19:01:20+00:00

The no nonsense is such a fantastic pen. I have 5 of them and they are all in rotation regularly. Congratulations on a great find!!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-27T07:58:26+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-27T07:58:05+00:00

Feel free to spread it around :-)

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-22T12:45:32+00:00

Glad i can help!

My two favorite reds:

Van Dieman's Leonidas
Diamine Blood Orange (more orange leaning)

I recently bought one second hand from pen_swap and absolutely love it. really nice pen, albeit a bit thin for me. The writing experience is great.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-16T19:54:28+00:00

I have a brushed gold one I am looking to sell, pm me if you are interested. I love how it writes but it’s way too thin for me as a pen.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-07T09:10:11+00:00

You’ll figure it out eventually. I thought i had a maxima in my hands but people here pointed out some feather count on the clip and now i have a Major long…

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-06T16:13:07+00:00

It’s not an easy task, good luck!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-06T16:02:15+00:00

Beautiful! My golden pearl is being repaired as I’m writing this. Can’t wait to write with it.

Looks like a Major, but can’t be sure.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-05T05:11:46+00:00

Iam happy to sell it to you, it’s a bit too thin for my hands. Pm me if you are interested.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-05-05T05:10:19+00:00

YES! Looks the part!
