It is a very well balanced, standard sized pen.

I have a 500, 400n, & '90's 400 in tortoise and a green stripped medium-large 400nn.

 

It took a few years before I finally gave the nod to the 400nn in balance over my then only '90's 400.

The 500....a rolled gold cap and piston cap, is heavier, with IMO lesser balance. Still a pen to have, which I'd not even thought about as it was over budget.

 

That blue pen is pretty nice. I'm 'missing' one.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Beautiful trio of birds. My favorite sized pen by far. I too am missing the blue.

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

Nice!!! I was looking for the Blue one too. I saw one at ebay last week, but it was out of my budget. The other two are awesome.

Lucky me, I catched a second blue 400.

Now I got 2 trippels :-)

Looking for a Pelikan 100n barrel brown (screwed section), please offer.

I was able to get an older brown tortoise M400 on Ebay last winter for under my maximum bid. So far, though, a striated blue one has not been in the cards.

      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
