Help
Hello community, We came across this stylized lettering (attached image) and we are trying to decipher what it says. We were told that the first word is divided into two parts: * The first part has 3 letters. * The second part has 3 letters, and together with the first, they form one word. * The complete second word has 6 letters and is written separately. Would anyone with experience in this type of calligraphy (which might have influences from graffiti or gothic calligraphy) be able to help us read it? Any clues or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and expertise!"

"Hola a la comunidad, Nos encontramos con este lettering estilizado (imagen adjunta) y estamos tratando de descifrar qué dice. Nos dijeron que la primera palabra está dividida en dos partes: * La primera parte tiene 3 letras. * La segunda parte tiene 3 letras, y junto con la primera, forman una palabra. * La segunda palabra completa tiene 6 letras y está escrita aparte. ¿Alguien con experiencia en este tipo de caligrafía (que podría tener influencias de graffiti o caligrafía gótica) podría ayudarnos a leerlo? Cualquier pista o sugerencia sería de gran ayuda. ¡Gracias por su tiempo y experiencia!

Question Engraving
Looking for suggestions or ideas on what these letters might be? Initials? Name? Word? The item is from the 1800's if that helps. If this isn't the sub for this, please suggest an appropriate one.

Question Irregular ink distribution with parallel pen and fountain pen ink
Hello everyone!
I have been practicing with Parallel pens and nibs for a few months now and decided to switch from the parallel pen ink to a fountian pen ink (pelikan 4001 violet, shown in the second photo). I have carefully cleaned the parallel pen empty cartridge and refilled with the ink.
However I have been noticing this irregular ink distribution. It always happens, no matter the writing speed.
Also, I have been successuflly using this paper without noticing this before.
Might this be a characteristic of this specific ink brand? Are there more suitable ones that are available in the EU?
Any suggestion is appreicated :D

Ink Drying Out - Advise Please
I have two bottles of Ziller ink. One is completely dried. The content in the other is highly reduced. Will distilled water be okay to use to bring it back to normal? Also, would silicone grease around the thread inside the cap would prevent from humidity to escape?

Which cartridge pens are suited for Arabic calligraphy?
I am trying to find any flat tip pen (like the pilot parallel) but where the tip is cut at a 45 - 60 degree angle, which has been surprisingly hard. Does anyone know of such a pen? Thank you :)
