    I also am a Prera fan, F & EF. Solid writers, I use them a lot at work.

    Migo, hopefully you don't mind me showing my first Prera here in your cool Prera thread:



    Finally got this in a trade after tracking it a while.
    I didn't get the brown one, but I'm not complaining, this one is cool too.
    I can already see that this is going to take over the TWSBI Mini as my favorite sketching pen (F nib).

    Now, I'm going for a Plumix nib to gain some Pilot Cursive Italic goodness...

    Well Migo, thanks to you and others' help, this is turning into a record month for pen acquisition for me. Wouldn't you know, there is a Prera in my all time favorite color:

    So what were your thoughts on the Prera VertOlive? It was my first pen in a Fine nib. The J. Herbin Bleu Pervenche really writes much wetter than my other two colors. If you get a smaller nib, I think the ink makes a big difference.

    Well, tracking says it should arrive sometime in the coming week. It's coming from Tokyo Pen Shop and I'm not sure how fast they are...pretty sure they're USA based though.

    Very happy. This pretty blue Prera is on its way to me. It's the Oeste Kingfisher & will join my yellow Canary & pink Flamingo (pics of which are in the first post in this thread)

    Migo, where did you buy the Oeste Kingfisher? Do you know whether it's still available?

    I think it is high time for Migo to line up all her Preras and do a family photo. Don't you?

    The kids are Home Alone, back in the UK, but here is a family portrait from a little while back. The Kingfisher will be going back with me later in the year, to join the tribe.

    Wow what a lovely collection. I have 2 Prera pens myself. I wish I had more. I really like that new blue one you are getting. I wish I could get one too. I wouldn't mind having at least a couple more.

    It looks like the inner cap on the Kingfisher might not be white (which would be a good thing IMO) ... Migo, when you receive your new pen, could you please post an update, to let us know the color of the inner cap?

    I sent a query to Nagasawa and yes, they confirm that they are completely out of stock. They added that there is a possibility of restock, but it's still undecided.

    The pink and yellow ones from previous years appeared on eBay after they'd originally sold out so it's worth keeping an eye out for the blue ones. I'll let you know about the inner cap. M

    I can confirm that the inner cap is white, like all the other Prera variants. I know some don't like the white inner sleeve, but I don't mind, or even notice, them. It is less obvious in the Kingfisher blue, as the material is a slightly deeper colour/more opaque.
