Platinum Purple Passion

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I might have the opportunity to get a Platinum Purple Passion. Does anyone have one or any experience or even any hearsay on this pen?

 

Thanks for your time!

I have a Platinum Purple Passion. It is larger than the 1911. It has the typical Platinum smooth nib. I have a medium so it writes like a fine. It is a c/c or converter filler. Nothing special except the vibrant purple color. Although if you are a fan of Platinum, you will like this pen. I, personally, like the unusual Platinum nibs like the music nib. If Platinums are your cup of tea--buy this one as it is out of production now :bunny1: :bunny1: :bunny1:

I have a Purple Passion too. At one time, it was available new for just $119, which was what I paid. It is my biggest pen, and brightest maybe. Mine is also a M nib which writes a dry Fine-ish line. Big pen, big nib. This is the same body/nib as the Platinum Very Presidential, which is available in less bright colours. :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've decided to swap my Sheaffer Legacy II Black/Platinum for a Purple Passion -- my first Japanese pen.

Leslie's response is more subdued than usual. :) I've heard rave reviews from her on this pen. Enjoy! And of course, review when you can.

      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
