One of my favorite pens lately is my Levenger True Writer Classic in purple. I currently have it eyedropper filled with Mont Blanc Royal Blue. It is a purple-leaning blue, that looks like it was made for this pen. It is hard to describe the pen. It is sort of a dark purple with lighter swirls in it. They also offer the same pen in "Royal" which is a bit more of a lighter speckled color.

Despite being a big purple fan, my purple pen range is quite limited.

My Krone purple haze is pretty spectacular

 

They can be found for $200-400 when they do pop up on the market (I paid 125 for mine but I occasionally get stuff at ludicrous steals from nathaniel cerf). Celluloid, sterling silver furniture, 18k rhodium nibs, piston filler under a blind cap. don't post well, but good size, bood balance, phenomenal nibs. and Krone's warranty is pretty insane (IIRC they will repair the filling mechanism at no charge forever)

I just got my only and favourite Purple pen so far, the Visconti Homo Sapiens Midnight in Florence, it's a limited edition with purple and bluish swirls in a demo body, made out of celluloid and acrylic (acriloid), so unique and gorgeous look.

 

Cheers,

Here are my purple pens, with one Retro 51 Prism that just qualifies.

The Visconti Cosmos Purple Nebulous at left is a dark purple that needs good light to show its coloring.

      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
