3oz (90ml) glass bottle of Noodler's General of the Armies fountain pen ink. It goes down green and then dries steel (Calvary) blue. The ink is partially bulletproof and fully eternal (Noodler's terms for permanent). Noodler's inks are handcrafted, so there may be slight color variations from batch to batch, particularly with this ink which is color changing as it dries.

General Sheridan, the Supreme Commander of the Armies of the West, gave the final approval to change the uniform colors after the civil war and was then used by the armies of the west. His home was at Fort Sam Houston in Texas, as well as Eisenhower and Pershing, both of which are still intact today. Fort Sam Houston was the training ground for Eisenhower, Pershing and Patton. It acted as an early pentagon so to speak, serving as the headquarters for the army of world war 1. The bottle artwork features General Pershing at Ft. Sam Houston and the early development of the Air Corps.

Good waterproof green

Very nice shade of green, water resistance makes this a good ink for work or important writing.

Exactly the color I needed

I was looking for a sage colored ink that wasn't too light since I want to use it for everyday writing - as a neutral. I bought this ink based solely on the color I saw on the website and it couldn't have been more perfect. I love it!

Great Ink!

Beautiful color with minimal smearing. Works great for left handed writers.

Great signature ink with amazing properties

Noodler's General of the Armies was my first bottled ink--I was piqued by the unique properties (UV reactive and water-resistant) which helped me transition from a disposable signature pen to be able to use a pen of my choice to sign and write documents. If I'm ever doubtful if an item is a copy or a document wasn't signed by me, I simply use a UV flashlight to make the green ink glow brightly. The green color isn't as dark as the swab on the website when I use a Twisbi Eco fine but I've noticed with wetter and more broad nibs the ink is a darker green. Regardless, it's a pleasant and easily noticed color on white paper under plain light. The ink properties are very pen-friendly (with the ones I've used--mainly Jin-Hao, Twisbi, and Lamy) and I have not noticed any feed or flow issues. I do give a pen a very thorough flush after using this ink so the UV characteristics don't remain when using a non-reactive ink--and water rinses it just fine. The ink bottle should be tilted a few times to re-distribute the UV reactive pigment in the solution before re-filling (you will notice this pigment sticking to the bottom of the glass bottle. After three years using it, it's still my favorite bottled ink and despite it's exotic properties has become a daily writer.

Pale green

Not sure yet about this green in terms of color as opposed to quality and saturation against paper. Writes very well and no bleeding through my test papers, minimal ghosting but the color is a bit too pale for me. Just need the right pen/nib combo to try

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink?

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
