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.

Limited, okay - but that Princess Grace . ..

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.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
