M600 nibs are considerably smaller than M800 nibs. If I'm not mistaken the M600 nibs will not fit - the threaded collar is also smaller.

There might be another way to solve the issue.

 

As I have a M600 with an 18k nib which has been taken from a M800 the nibs seem to be compatible. So why not trying a 14k nib intended for a M600 (which should be easier to find)? :eureka:

 

Thanks, fd_kiel. But indeed, the M600 nib is smaller than the M800.

 

MfG,

Lavie

Hi!

 

Got my M800 black a few years back from FPN member printhardcopy - very satisfied with it and with the level of communication with printhardcopy. The pen was ofcourse new in box with papers, an excellent writer ever since.

I think he has some M800s for sale, still! :thumbup:

Don't all current production Pelikan M800's have 18k nibs? I thought they only came with 14k ones whose feeling and built was closer to those of yore, for a very brief time, when the pen was first issued, from 1987 till the end of 1989.

Pelikan has remodeled its webpage, including a production chart that helps date their pens from 1982 http://www.pelikan.com/pulse/Pulsar/en_EN.FWI.timelineInitView.106753./timeline While I can't help finding the 14k ones, I've tried M800's with 14k, the Bock 18k and the current Pelikan 18k. 14k was a tiny bit springier but it had the same effective very little give in than the Bock 18k. best of luck in the search of one, if you succeed, could you please post a picture of how it writes?.

I have an early M800 (stamped W.Germany) with the 14ct nib in medium. The tip seems much smaller compared to the tip on my 2005 M800, so it feels slightly 'toothy' in comparison, but it is quite springy.

Folks,

I'm sorry for the mistake :crybaby:

I've investigated little deeper...obviously my M600 has got a M600-oldstyle nib which is an 18k one.

But I appreciate the respectful responses on my posting.

Thanks for that, but perhaps I've caused some healthy laughters :ltcapd:

 

Best regards

This one just ended, at what I believe, a reasonable price:

Somebody stole that :crybaby:

And it wasn't me :bawl: :gaah:

 

That was a pretty good price. I got my W. Germany M800 for less than a couple M200 nibs from a flea market dealer who didn't know any better -- he wanted more a Waterman Expert. :roflmho:

      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
