I've had this for about a month now but I'm finally getting around to snapping a few pics. This is the newest addition to the collection.
Omas Bologna Pearl Blue with Fine Nib.
The color really is quite a subtle pearl blue that's hard to capture with incandescent lighting and flash photography.
I like this pen a lot but the fact that it has a Bock nib shows. It's a very German, stiff feel. Not at all Italian. It's a true fine though. I don't mind the slightly out of character nib though as I tend to do better with stiffer nibs. Also, given the size of the pen, the nib might be slightly undersized but, again, I like this as I do better with a low grip.
Looking for a purple or purple/red ink for use in stub-nibbed or italic pens with good shading. So far hae tried Noodler's Concord Grape, PR Tanzanite and PR Arabian Rose. Arabian Rose seems to shade the best but wondering what else is out there.
Beautiful Omas leftnose! The color looks fantastic.

yeah, I'm on that site too. But nowusing mainly vintage pens and they seem to love the Private Reserve items or Waterman's. Still, wondering too what the new Noodler's may be like. My vote went in a week or so ago for the new purple

How much is not too pricey?

If it doesn't have to be ballpoint specifically--I have a Pilot Knight rollerball which I am quite fond of for when I need an alternative to fountain pens, they are about $40 at office depot and use the Pilot G2 refills.
