Was not aware of such, the only thing I'm in as it relates to color is Black Pen Society. 

  @Misfitand I have put together a series of Pen Club threads for people to show us their lovely pens based on color. So far, we have blue, red, green, yellow, and clear/see through tinted Pen Club threads active in this section of the forum.

Similar, for sure. You take great photos and have lots of beautiful pens.

And this arrived in the mail , already cleaned it up, flushed it, ultrasonic cleaned the grip/collector (lots of old ink), photographed and then inked with Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo in an original converter that has a PVC sac I put in. A little note to the seller with said ink.

Wow!  First the Persian Blue Touchdown, and now this?  I didn't know that 45s (I'm presuming it's a 45) came in that color/finish.

Nice haul you've gotten recently!

I wasn't aware either, but asked around and the Signet option was available for the 45, but apparently not easy to sell now days. I'm just glad I got an example of one that doesn't seem to have any dings or plating loss other than at the top of the clip itself.

Well, here's one...a Bexley HBCU special pen.  18K stub, too.  I am stopping over at Howard's shop tomorrow for a couple more goodies.

I just bought a black CT Parker 45 Arrow F.

I think you’ll love that pen. 

I expect to.  I love the orange one I've had for a decade or so.

And this one..

[inkstainedruth]

I have NEVER seen that sort of material on a Parker 51 style pen!  Guessing it's maybe a "specialty" model (not Ariel Kulloch, the other guy, whose name I'm spacing on at the moment).

Howard Levy (Bexley Pens) did this one.   He told me that he used to get odd stock from some of the European makers here and there.

You may be thinking of Torelli.

[inkstainedruth]

Brad Torelli?  Yeah, that sounds right -- that was the guy I was thinking of, thanks.

Tempted by an SBRE Brown review of a Pilot Custom 845, I started looking for the black urushi version with a fine nib. (I have had the red urushi version with a Waverley nib for some time.) Vanness had it at a very attractive discount, so I bought it. The pen was delivered in two days and is a delight. First fine pen purchase in a long time.

Enjoy!

This arrived today and after a good bath and scrub up...

 

It's a Barlei Extra, Spanish and I got it from a seller in Morocco.  I think it's late fifties and appears to be something of a cross between an Onoto K1 and a Sheaffer.

Haven’t bought a new pen in ages, but Endless Pens had a great deal on a Leonardo Momento Zero today. I couldn’t resist. Hope I get one with a good nib. 

Well, it came and it’s a pretty pen. Feels great in my hand, but it skips and needs some pressure to start writing. It’s going back to Endless Pens for them to check it.  We’ll see what they say.
