The above picture is from a listing that ended recently. The seller describes the pen as a "Grey Snorkel Statesman." He is a top rated seller who has sold thousands of fountain pens. Is he right the pen is "Grey"? It looks blue to me, a very desirable blue, second in rarity to a Fern Green Snorkel. What do you think?

Well, you know, if you saw it on the internet, it must be true. Unless you're talking about colors.

In this photo it certainly looks like that P color to me, but I've seen photos of pens on eBay that were listed as blue, green, and others, yet look black.

 

If this really is Periwinkle, someone is going to get a nice surprise.

Lighting plays tricks especially with grey, which the above post correctly points out this pen is. Another feature of the Periwinkle Snorkel is matching section which this pen lacks.

Mandarin Orange and Peacock do not have matching sections. Now, I have to remember the Periwinkle has same colour section. Maybe I'm a dichromat. Thanks, learning new things.

 

BUT I found this on a well-known doctor's website:

Now, I still don't know anything!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
