In your opinion, what is the most "attractive looking" Pelikan?

[Pepin]

Simply from design POV.

[Randal6393]

A quick vote for the Pelikan Technixx -- for the more modern look. But, the old classic, love the green marbled M400.

 

Enjoy,

Pelikan Souveran M450 Tortoise and Vermeil.

I've always liked the rounded, 50s look of the 400nn. There is nothing functionally wrong with the 400 or 400n, but the 400nn looks friendlier and more approachable.

I'll vote for the white tortoise.

The M450 is too much bling for me.

I've always liked the M215 with the rings, rather than the diamond pattern.

I find the M800 Demonstrator most attractive especially with the intricate markings

For me its the pelikan kirin. I really like the standard toledo but the kirins color and finish is just awsome.

If you're including limited and special editions, I'd have to say the Polar Lights. Ironically, I thought it looked bad online and in pictures but found it stunning in person. The opposite was true of the Shanghai - thought it looked great online but wasn't so impressed when I saw it in person.

Ditto. Polar Lights looks sublime.

I'd have to say the Lighthouse of Alexandria LE. My ultimate grail pen.

[ANM]

Pelikan Souveran M450 Tortoise and Vermeil.

 

I'd have to go with this one too.

I don't know if I ever told anyone but I am a Huge fan of Pelikan fountain pens, new or vintage. Though the limited editions can be hit or miss with me, with some real standouts, I find I still prefer the standard Pelikan. I keep one each of the M800 in red, green, blue and simple black cocked and loaded at all times, each with a different nib and personality. My main pen is the black, simple and classic, it feels good and it looks good.

Two favorites, the M200 Yellow cream or Citroenpers,whatever you call it, and the M400 White tortoise. The grail however remains the M1000 brown.

Happy Easter,

Eeek. I really respect my M200 and M800, but I don't see them as anything "attractive". What I love about them is that they are designed first to function well, then they are made to look "nice-ish"... This is actually a complement, but I'm having a hard time phrasing it, after making a "fiery" post in the chatter section (oh boy).

 

If I had to choose... maybe that "granite" M600 that came out a while back? I think it was one of the City series.

[Lefthander]

I think the most addractive looking Pelikan is the M620 Athens from the Cities Series.
