I checked Swisher Pens and did not see it. It looks like it's a standard distribution item, and not an exclusive.

YAY!! Now Nathan needs to let us know who will have it! I'm dying to get my hands on some.
It was never implied to be an exclusive. We just had an email campaign started by kookychick to say, "please give us bulletproof purple!" It looks to be here! I'm excited!
THANK YOU

edit: I have 3 bottles on reserve. It just became available yesterday for dealers to order. Nice catch, El Mocho!

It's a bulletproof "security ink"--I believe it's a Niche Pens exclusive. Supposedly, if you pour bleach on it (i.e., try to alter it), it turns blue! Here's where I got it (no affiliation, but they were fantastic to purchase from):
http://www.pelikanpens.co.uk/water-proof-inks.htmIt's in the Legal Lapis/Tahitian Pearl color range, but has been shading more noticeably than either of those two. Nathan said that with certain papers, the blue and black almost separate. I haven't had much of a chance to use it extensively, but it flows quite well (though isn't a gusher). I'm really enjoying the shading, and am looking forward to trying it out on different papers (after exams)!

Wow. That sounds like a fantastic Noodler's find, too! I might have to see about getting a bottle.
I preordered 3 bottles of La Reine Mauve from Todd at ISellPens. I might have it within a week to 10 days, depending on when Todd gets his order and the amount available overall from Nathan. The rush is on to see who will pop up the first review (though I think that honor should go to kookychick).

Click to view attachmentIn general I'm not a purple fan, but I'll be getting some Reine Mauve, which I'm betting will combine with Noodler's standard Blue or Eel Blue to make a nifty second-generation
Mystery Blue. Also, I must admit, it's an attractive color in its own right.

I think you're confused. Rachmaninov is a pink ink from the Russian series (now available through Swisher Pens).
The new purple that this thread is about is called "La Reine Mauve".

If you want to purchase from them (no affiliation, etc.), you can pre-order, so you won't have to try and catch an order on any particular date. You can either "purchase" another ink of the same price and put in the comments that you want La Reine Mauve instead (and you might want to shoot them an email as a backup just in case), or you can PayPal them the proper amount with your order in the comments. Then they'll send your order out whenever they get it in next.
Hope everyone enjoys this ink! I can't wait to receive mine!
