Wearingeul The Valley of Fear Fountain Pen Ink — 30 mL
Wearingeul The Valley of Fear Fountain Pen Ink — 30 mL
Wearingeul The Valley of Fear gives Arthur Conan Doyle’s final Sherlock Holmes novel a saturated deep blue base with a sharply contrasting red sheen. The two colors do not blend politely; the warm surface sits over the dark blue like evidence appearing where the page is most saturated.
Independent testing and retailer documentation consistently identify the red sheen as a defining property. It appears most clearly on fountain-pen-friendly paper and in wetter lines. There is no particulate shimmer, and water resistance is low.
