Ink Review: Senator - Regent (royal blue washable) - vintage bottle

Vercin · Apr 18, 2013

Senator - made in Germany - Regent - Royal Blue (washable) 30ml/1fl oz (supposedly its from the '60-'70):

I find this runs really smooth and wet .. took ages to dry, little smudges on 10 seconds still, although not as bad as the Parker Mocha (next review hint :laugh:

). Will have to test it in other pen or try another ink in this one .. it seems to me that because it was easy running it made a thicker line. Nice blue for my taste.

Cool old ink, nice review! To be honest, I'd be surprised if it wasn't made by Pelikan.

Could you please add a photo of the bottle for posterity? That would be great.

hmm what I could look up now that you mentioned .. it says that: "Senator is one of the brand names used by Merz and Krell, they also used the Diplomat name." This company is still alive today as well the first pen I got recently is a Senator Solaris (and they had a whole range in store as well, about 10 models).

I have several nice Senator pens, the economical Senator Windsor is a good one but doesn't post very well, and another larger black one with three bands.

I have another older vintage piston-filler pen I was told was called the Regent, nice big pen with a removable nib unit.

does the vintage has a "tail" to attach to it? well as I was looking for info on the ink .. that's the matching pen that goes in set.

You could put the tail on mine but I don't have the full gift box kit, just the pen. Very similar to the Tropen Scholar!
Mine is green and black.

That's over 20 years old -- W.Germany!

Looks like a 30ml Pelikan bottle, thanks for the pic!
