His Nibs.com Update --
Ginkoshen Jungle Stripes & new PR colors
May 28th, 2006
This week brings another new model from
China...which bears a striking resemblance to a
modern Parker...the Ginkoshen Jungle Stripes
I mentioned in last week's update that three new
colors from Private Reserve would be shipping this
week. Well, they're here!
All of the Private Reserve colors are now back-in-
stock...as well as the Ink Mixing Kit.
We're still awaiting shipment of the latest order of
Monteverde Mega pens. Hopefully they get sent out
to us this week. Thanks again for the patience
shown by everyone on the waiting list. I wish I could
make them appear faster!

Ginkoshen 'Jungle Stripes'

Will the real Parker Sonnet please stand up?
If the picture makes you think that we're offering a
Parker Sonnet, you can be excused for your
confusion! This group photo shows the
Ginkoshen Jungle Stripes
nestled next to three of my Parker Sonnets! It's a
close match -- but no cigar -- which becomes a bit
more apparent when looking at the Chinese
characters on the capband, and absolutely confirmed
when removing the cap to expose the hooded nib,
like Parker 51 or a Hero 329.

Three new Private Reserve colors

These just arrived so I haven't yet had a chance to
try them myself. To reiterate from last week's update:
Purple Mojo -- an intense purple, reminiscent
of fine amethyst.
Chocolat -- a deep, rich chocolate-bar
brown (yes, the spelling is correct...remember the
movie?).
Ultra Black -- and instant-drying black ink
which will be great for left-handed writers.

On the blog...Naked on Everest: a peek on the peak?
Where do you have to go to get back to
nature?
"The head of the Nepal Mountaineering Association
urged the government Saturday to take action
against a sherpa who reportedly stripped on top of
Mount Everest.
The Himalayan Times had reported Friday that the
Nepali climbing guide, whose name it gave as Lakpa
Tharke, stood naked for three minutes in freezing
conditions on the 29,035-foot summit of the world's
highest peak.
If confirmed, he would be the first person known to
have stripped atop Everest, considered by Nepali
Buddhists as a god.
Ang Tshering Sherpa, head of Nepal's top
mountaineering body, said he could not confirm that
the incident had happened."
