I have a grey NOS M 200 medium nib, on its way to join an M 800 fine and an old M 400 with an OM nib.

My new M405 black arrived this weekend and I inked it with Waterman Mysterious Blue. I bought this one from John at CFP and it is the smoothest, most pleasurable writing FP I have acquired to date. I took a quick and dirty cell phone photo this morning at my desk...

PELIKAN - Too many birds in the flock to count. My pen chest has proven to be a most fertile breeding ground.

I just received a beautiful blue M805 with a BB nib from Missing-pen. I'm sending it out for a Pendleton grind.

Congrats Joshua. Nice catch. Is the capring inscribed with Deutsch Telekom? Mine is without that inscription.

 

Mine is also without the inscription. Congrats on the Bols! The Telekom and the Bols have been on my list of harder to get Pels. One down and one to go.

Beautiful blue demo, daenghafez, I haven't seen that one before!

 

My newest additions are a Pelikan 400 black-striped with OM nib from Vasco, which 'sings', and a 405 rollerball in blue, which I haven't taken pictures of yet:

Don't have it in hand yet, thought I would have it today as it left the sort facility here in town early this morning, newest addition is a Pre-97 M150 black/black. Represented as filled once to try it and then it was emptied and stored.

 

Arrived today. Beautiful pen. "Germany" rather than W. Germany on the cap band which is conical like the one on my 120 M&K. Came with the box (which is plastic) and says Pelikan AG W. Germany on it. Still has the sticker (M) and the dome top jewel with 2 chicks.

 

Quite a bit of ink flushed out. Filled with Akkerman Shocking Blue.

Love seeing all the new pens in here, and on that note, here is my newest Pelikan. Its the M800 Tortoise, an early birthday present for myself. Its, honestly, perfect. I like it more than my 400NN Tortoise, which I thought couldn't be topped. Soon, I will get an XXXF nib unit to use for drawing.

Lovely tortoise, Kevin! I wish they had it in the M600 size. Here is my newest tortoise, which has become my favorite pen in the span of a few days.

I'm loving the size difference between the M101N and the M400.

Snake pattern 200 in rollerball. Every FP user needs at least one good rollerball, no?;)

Beautiful M101N, paloma! I've thought about getting that one as well, but now that I have one of my grail Pelikans, I think I'm going to hold off on buying pens for quite some time. Also, Doug, love the 400NN! And, lahlahlaw, thats a really nice looking rollerball. I wish Pelikan would make more pens in the lizard pattern.

      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
