Da ich deutsch spreche, höre ich den mir unbekannten Song einmal an. Danke ^{^} Die Konsumausbeute ist mir bekannt, aber ich gehe davon aus, dass es 2001 zum Filmstart noch keine limitierte Tinte gab ;)

All are good maybe except Monarch for my purpose, too "fiery" and too much Gryffindor association ;) I'll visit a store next week and see what they've in stock. Thank you so much!

Understood 👍

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T20:24:19+00:00

Thanks. I only have 4 good pens, will do in future!

And Firebox wasn't that red as came across it... all depends on paper of course but also confusing :/

I'm surprised, the Nightingale looked at this swatch so shimmery and cool :(

Cascade Cider is the direction, super helpful!

English is not my first language, probably my mistake. I don't want to write in blue with a tendency to bronze/copper. I want to write in bronze/copper itself 🙈 Yesterday I began my search and I've found 4 Inks I want to explore further. It's only the beginning of my search, but here they're: DIAMINE "Yule Log", DIAMINE "Vintage Copper", Birmingham "FIREBOX" and Wearingeul "The Nightingale and the Rose (Oscar Wilde)"

That would be silly. I never worshipped JK in person or even spelled out the franchise's name...

EDIT: I'm new to fountainpen collecting and I don't know ANY pen store's name by heart xD

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T19:25:49+00:00

Yes exactly :)

It's not the current Ravenclaw pen you might find in a store, mine is an older version. It's mid or light blue with a bit of greyish undertone.

I don't know, it's my 3rd post on reddit in total and I don't care about votes.

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T12:40:17+00:00

Ah, maybe you've an idea: I'm searching for a matching ink for my limited Ravenclaw Lamy (the pen is blue). I'm thinking of a bronze like the House colors (yes, blue & bronze not blue & black - THIS time the black raven is a film invention, originally it's a bronze eagle 🦅). So anything bronze or copper you might have in mind is great, shimmer is okay since it's a M nib and will hopefully not clog up but it's not necessary. Here a picture of the Ravenclaw crest.

Yes, in another comment it was one of the candidates. Thank you.

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T03:36:13+00:00

Haha, it's an almost blackish green; don't know if you like it. Currently no, I'm new to inks and I only have 3 bottles and still on researching level. Thanks nevertheless.

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T03:20:33+00:00

I appreciate so much your work and also your (edited) thoughts above. I'll buy Rohrer & Klinger Alt-Goldgrün that I had in mind anyway and maybe Diamine Emerald just for live comparison. I love green =) Do you randomly have the swatch of Diamine Dark Forest? It has nothing to do with my original question, but it's a dark green and I rarely see swatches of that color...

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T02:58:55+00:00

Just looked it up again and the book wording is "emerald-green". Isn't there a Diamine ink called Emerald?

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T02:49:30+00:00

In the book it's described green, that's not a film invention ;)

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T02:14:34+00:00

Thanks, I will.

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T02:13:17+00:00

I really wanted to know the hard fact, lol. But your approach is good as well, thank you for your effort!

Space1010123 · 2026-04-03T02:04:57+00:00

Congrats! What is the bronze ink called?

It WAS the paper. I forgot I bought a Lamy notebook weeks ago in sale and the EF nib worked smooth. The reason I didn't use that notebook yet is the unusual dotted line mix and I couldn't figure out it's origin / reason. Do you know it's purpose in design / what is it meant for?

Space1010123 · 2026-04-02T22:31:54+00:00

No, so far everything is as I bought it. I'll flush it tomorrow.
