SBRE Brown Fountain Pen Ink is Back and Where to Get It
SBRE Brown fountain pen ink is back! This ink is made by Diamine and will be distributed by P.W. Akkerman in The Hague: get yours here. I realize shipping outside of the EU may be costly, but you will also not pay 21% VAT. You may want to see a full Inkcyclopedia entry on this ink, but bear in mind the ink now comes in very cool 120 ml (4 oz.) Akkerman Dutch Masters bottles. The price of the ink is 23.50 EUR – that’s more than the ink cost last time, but you get four times as much ink plus a very cool, reusable bottle this time around!
My Personal Pens: Parker 75 Godron Set
This fountain pen and ballpoint set was let to me by my grandfather. This is a good example of a pen that may not have tremendous financial value but that has a strong emotional value. I reviewed the pens a long time ago.
