As you all know i have purchased an M200 and an M600 and the M200 arrived today.

 

As soon as i opened the packaging i could tell that this is a serious pen from a serious company.

 

As you can see the pen was packaged in an old fashion type envelope design with the Pelikan logo as a sort of stamp. This made the whole product feel classic and elegant before even looking at the pen.

What beautiful packaging i can honestly say that this is the best packaging i have ever seen for any product it makes the whole experience more of a luxury.

 

Now onto the pen. I was quite surprised by the size of this pen i thought it would have been abit bigger but i had no problem holding it posted it was a nice snug fit in my hands. I also have the M600 which is bigger so it will not be a problem for me.

What a beautiful pen this is. It is so elegant and simple looking it isnt one of those pens that screams 'LOOK AT MEE!!' it is sophisticated and classy and its almost like the pen does not try to hard to look nice instead it makes its mark by its performance. Here are some more photos of the pen.

This is a gorgeous pen puddle.gif i can only imagine what the M600 will look like.

 

One of my favourite features of the pen is its removable nib. In the world of fountain pens we know that there are some expensive pen brands where you cannot take the nib or the feed out of their pens and you cannot clean the pens thoroughly as you would like to. If there is any problem with the pen or nib you have to send it off and wait some time until you see your pen again. With Pelikans (As you all know) it is not like that. you can remove the nib and easily replace it with another nib of your choice without sending it off. Its that simple.

And speaking about nibs these are where Pelikan have grown their popularity from and its the nibs which have given Pelikan their name. Although this is a steel nib and not a 14kt gold nib it is one hell of a smooth nib! You really cant tell the difference in performance and smoothness in my opinion. The nib is wonderfully smooth and has a slight spring to it which is lovely. The nib is not too dry and not too wet in my opinion and my mind has been blown by this pen.

 

I can honestly say that if i had to choose ONE pen to write with and only one to own i would choose the M200. This is making me even more excited to get my hands on the M600 and ink it up! If this nib blows my mind i can only imagine how the M600 will write.

 

Below is my writing sample and this is by far my most favourite pen. Im totally hooked on Pelikan now! roflmho.gif

This pen gets a 10/10 for me it is an all round great pen and i am impressed with its performance and quality. This may be one of Pelikans cheapest pens but it sure outweighs its expensive rivals, just goes to show you dont need an expensive gold nib pen to get the job done. Buy a pelikan M200 instead thumbup.gif

 

Hope you guys like my first proper review thumbup.gif

In the days gone by, people believed that if a person touched an object, that object would form a bond with a part of their soul.

Today such a thought seems almost absurd....Until you enter the realm of Montblanc's master craftsmen.

Great review! Thanks! My first Pelikan was one like this and it was a great pen. I didn't keep it long b/c of the size - but what a great little pen.

 

Thank you. Much appreciated

Nice review. What size nib did you get? I got the B on my M150.

 

My nib is fine

What a great review. I'd like to know what made you choose the M200 over the M205 or M215. I'm struggling with

this decision.

Thank you. I think the green marble design made me choose this pen over the others.

Oh, for heaven's sake...I had just talked myself OUT of picking up a M205 on the Goulet Pens closeout, and then you have to go and pique my interest again. :)

 

Nice review. I like the enthusiasm.

Lol thank you. :D

 

Nice review my friend.

I also have the M205 taupe and I am excited to. I must say though that faber e-motion is a click smoother, but I am definitely so happy with peli.

I am looking for M600 or M800 as my next peli ...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
