How Many M800S & M1000S Do You Own?

[OC Mike]

Pelikan Aficionados,

 

I'm curious to see how many M800s & M1000s you own. Currently I own:

 

• 3-M800s (Black/silver, Blue stripe/silver, Green stripe/gold) plus 3 extra nibs to interchange on the pens
• 2-M1000s (Black/gold, Green stripe/gold) plus 3 extra nibs to interchange on the pens

i know there has to be someone in the group that can beat 5, so let's see how the obsession plays out in the end!

2 early M800s, 1x Custom binde M1000. and several nib units of both sizes... I have enough. no active desire to buy more.

[Silvermink]

Just the one, an M1050. I'd like an M1005 demonstrator but I have a lot of other pen priorities too (thinking of picking up a white tortoise M600).

[PAKMAN]

Don't have a 1000 size since they still haven't made it in blue stripes!

 

3 M800's (Blue stripe, Blue-o-Blue and clear Demonstrator) plus Blue stripe ball point and Mech Pencil

 

2 M600's (625 in Blue and Grand Place)

 

2 M400's (Blue Stripe and Tortoise)

 

2 M200's (Green swirl and Blue demonstrator)

 

1 M320 (Red)

 

1 M150

 

Oh and a blue/green Epoch

[georges zaslavsky]

2 pre 1997 m800s, one in f and one in m

2 pre 2005 m1000s, one in f and one in m

I agree, an M1000 with blue stripes and silver trim would be perfect!

But I will be buying the M800 Brown Tortoise when it comes out.

If it is even for sale in your country because I think it must be a somehow limited edition and not for sale everywhere

Rumour has it that it will carry a RRP of ~£500+ GBP. If and when.

Not being available in my country is not a hurdle for me . It may even become available. Who knows, after all India is a very important market for all these brands.

[Tdot]

• 
   
  
• M1000 - green
  
• M800 - black
  
• M800 - blue
  
• D800 - blue
  

About a dozen more in the smaller sizes.

[Juventino]

I own 2 M800 (Green F and a Blue o' Blue M) and I am waiting for the brown one and in future a Toledo.

[stacybean]

Blue O' Blue Italic Broad nib, M805 blue with M and B nibs . So desirous of an M1000 and restraining myself.

I think Pelikan like any of the big firms target countries where people have high income and where buying luxury pens isn't an issue. They also select stores whith which they have a long history of selling their pens. Maybe Bryant or Mottishaw will be able to have some, but the run will be very limited.

I don't know about that. I bought the last special edition M101N, it was available online in Germany and China from authorised resellers much before it appeared in the high ticket stores you mention. Pelikan is not very tight in marketing unlike Mb which has a much tighter grip on its retail channels.

 

I know already who i will be buying my M800 tortoise from, if pelikan decides to release it after all.

[olivier78860]

I have a black M1000 with a F nib, a M900 Toledo in M, and a M900 Concerto in B.

I don't have a big appeal for the other models. The recent limited edition with multicolour stripes was very beautiful, but 3000€ is far too expensive for a pen.

I know that Pelikan is less tighter than MB in terms of marketing. Good luck on finding the m800 you want
