Blue / Blue Marble Pelikan M200 Fountain Pen ?

[Boochie]

Hello,

 

Relatively new here. Been hanging out in the Montblanc section but a just watched a video review of a Pelikan M200 in blue marble. WOW !! What a beautiful pen !!! I want one !!

Been searching online and I assume they are discontinued cause I'm having a hard time finding one? I see that the M400 is still available in a blue stripped version but the price is just a bit out of my range at the moment.

 

Are the M200 Blue Marble hard to find? I want one like this:

Anyone know where I could find one? PM me if you do. Otherwise, I guess I will have to save up for the M400 stripped version.

You are correct in that the blue marbled M200 is discontinued. The green marbled is the one still in production. That said, the blue marbled is not rare and frequently turns up on eBay. Many of those are like new examples. Regina Martini at Martiniauctions.com is also an excellent source of older Pelikans. You can probably pick one up for $100 if you're patient. The top one in that pic is a pre-1997 version and the bottom one demonstrates a post-1997 barrel but with the older cap. You see that sometimes in the transition period as they were using up old stock. You can see there was a design change at that point in the company. Again, both examples turn up fairly frequently. The grey model is nice too, though the post-1997 version had a very limited run and is harder to come by.
