Purple Pens?

[whichwatch]

On the modest priced end, Levenger Purple Majesty (first photo). On the high priced end, and a gorgeous color purple, the Omas Aubergine (second photo) with more photos in my post here:

I know I spent quite a bit of time hunting for my "perfect" purple pen. I resolved that with a Sailor Sapporo, which is truly magnificent. Bit of a shame that the purple lamé Sapporo appears to be beyond the end of its production run.

 

+1 for the purple Sailor Sapporo. I've got one in my rotation right now with Pilot's Murasaki Shikibu Iroshizuku ink - it's a great combination!

I didn't see anyone mention that Tombow makes the Object pen in a nice purple - although it can be hard to find in some countries, especially if you want a medium nib. I order my Tomobow Object fountain pens from the UK.

Pilot Plumix has a transparent purple pen. approx. $11 usd.

Hero 395. Eggplant colored with gold trim. approx. $20 usd.

There is/was also a purple Lamy Studio. I've got a blue one and love it. It would look great in purple I think, even though sadly I've only seen pictures. And of course the purple Lamy Al-Star...

 

Cheers,

Since you love Watermans, I think I saw a purple Carene. Might have been a limited edition however.

I have a purple Parker Frontier. I don't remember what they called it, but they gave it a funky name. I have also seen Sheaffer No Nonsense pens in purple for sale on ebay.

Well, it's not a totally purple pen, but the Signum Nova Python comes with a purple python skin covered cap. Interestingly, Fountain Pen Hospital is closing out their stock. With the usual disclaimers of just being a satisfied FPH customer, here's a link:

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! There's a lot more out there than I expected. I guess I've been too timid to venture too far past big brands like Pelikan and Waterman yet... I love the Pelikan Aubergine and the purple VP special edition. I'll have to see if I can hunt down one on ebay, as I have no idea where else I could get one...

I do like the looks of that Rosetta pen too

 

 

Pen Gallery and Melpens still have them listed on their website. I usually shoot them an email before ordering to make sure they actually have the pen in stock. I do know Pen Gallery had the Pelikan Aubergine in stock at the end of last year.

There is a violet Platinum Plaisir, anodized aluminum, light in color and weight, and pretty cheap to boot.

The Plaisir is a great pen as well. It's a light purple, more of a lilac to me. Also, can't forget the Purple Sheaffer NoNonsenses, a translucent version and solid version.
