Kaweco Metallic Purple (or is it Violet)?

[Lady Onogaro]

Hi,

Maybe Migo can answer this as she has just bought one of these.

Is this pen: http://www.gouletpens.com/kaweco-skyline-sport-fountain-pen-metallic-purple-fine/p/KAW-10000981

The same as this pen: http://www.cultpens.com/i/q/KW44828/kaweco-sport-skyline-metallic-purple-special-edition-fountain-pen

Fahrney's also has this one: http://www.fahrneyspens.com/Item--i-70157S

Or are they different pens?

Thank you.

Hi LO

There are 2 different colours. It gets confusing because sellers seem to be using different names for the same colour. Some sellers describe the Cultpens Metallic Purple as Violet. It's more of a plum/red purple. The Goulet one is different to the one in my photo. It's more of a true blue-toned purple. Some sellers call it Royal Purple. I think it's an LE of 1,000, for the US market only.


Hope that helps.

The original pictures and descriptions on Goulet Pens were the metallic purple, but when the pages went live, it was the plain purple. Very disappointing. I even called Pen Chalet and asked if theirs was metallic, and was told it was, so I ordered it. I then kept comparing pictures, and had a bad feeling, so I ordered the one from Fahrney as well. After receiving both, my thinking right now is that Fahrney is the only US retailer selling the metallic purple version.
