Will alcohol based ink be harmful for these brushes?

I have used WN series 7 brushes for decades- both in water based and oil paints. Keeping the bristles soft and straight requires that they be well cleaned, conditioned, and repointed after each use. if there is any residue left in the hair or in the ferrel the brush will deteriorate and split. I clean them in WN brush cleaner and wash them out with water - I soap them with Masters cleaner and preserver and point them. They are the best...use them accordingly.

Are these only for watercolor? Do they have acrylic?

Because the hairs are soft, very soft (after all, they are sable), I think the brush could only be used with liquid media. I use mine for India ink drawings. If you're using acrylic as you would oil, then maybe the brush could be used as a blender (although it may be too soft for that). If you're using acrylic as watercolor, then the brush should work. Winsor & Newton has a website you can check. It shows this brush only for watercolor. They do have a collection of acrylic brushes.

Which W & N series brush is the best for oil/laquer/acrylic

The series 7 is the best for acrylic and ink. I don't know about oils and lacquer, I have never used those mediums.

There are a lot of reviews mentioning inconsistent quality and possible knockoffs. Which sellers should I stay away from & is amazons stock authentic?

National Art Supply inventory is 100% authentic. We have submitted invoices to amazon to prove authenticity.

Reeds bekend met deze penselen weet ik dat ze goed zijn, nemen goed de verf op en punt blijft mooi (let op) bij het juiste gebruik en onderhoud dus laat niet zomaar iedereen het gebruiken 😉🫣. Ja ze zijn wel duurder maar bij Amazon een zeer goede prijs. Ze worden geleverd in een plastic kokertje en werd netjes door amazon bezorgd in een kartonnen envelop.
