J Herbin.

Forgot completely about these, I ordered them some months back but they were out of stock, well they turned up yesterday, J Herbin Perle Noir cartridges, they came in a very small tin, to give some idea of size I took a photo with it in my hand, I will get some samples posted tomorrow or Tuesday.

Those are pretty slick, Dave. I use the Eclat de Saphir and Poussiere de Lune regularly and really like them. The inks perform very well in all my pens and I love the colors. I'll definitely be trying some more.

Lovely! The tin storage is very thoughtful. I always hate those match boxes with cartridges

A couple of photos, I enjoyed writing with this ink, smooth and leaving a wet but not overly so line, deep black, not Grey.

J Herbin has some of the best natural inks and a lovely company with lots of nice pen related products.

Wow...Just like bullet-cartridges, they come in a metal magazine! Very neat.

I haven't used cartridges in years, but I love that little tin.
