I use a fountain pen once in a while, but I'm not a big inkophile. J.

Pelikan used to make lots of different ink colors for fountain pens and there was one that was lighter than violet.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-56449597391307700812010-09-17T05:31:21.719-07:002010-09-17T05:31:21.719-07:00Can anyone guess the original (pre-faded) ink colo...Can anyone guess the original (pre-faded) ink color Eugen used?
