How Many M800S & M1000S Do You Own?

[OC Mike]

M800 black, M and XXF nib

M805 blue, B nib

M800 green, F nib

M800 blue, M nib

M nib

All great pens to write with and in my rotation!

 

No M1000s?

[elysee]

I own two 800's -- green stripe (with matching ballpoint pen, pencil, and rollerball pen) and transparent green demonstrator (with matching ballpoint pen and pencil); I like sets. :clap1: Each of my 800's have smooth, fat medium nibs that make GREAT lines and they are nice, wet writers.

 

I do not own any 1000's.

As an accurate answer to the question: one M805 and that's it.

I don't have any :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:

So far, you have everyone beat! How long have you been collecting Pelis? My collection started in 1993.

It only takes one to start the obsession!

[moabit]

I own only 2 M1000, a green Stresemann and the 75th anniversary pen.

 

My real obsession are the 800s. I own 45 at the moment including the limited editions and the Toledos in this size. And I'm waiting for the delivery of the yellow M910 and made just a preorder for the silver 910, which shall come out next month as special edition. People, who think I'm crazy, are wrong; it's a disease :embarrassed_smile:

[smoores]

Currently have:

M1000 green-stripe (with a 3B CI by Binder- thanks, Mike!)

M805 blue-stripe (BB CI by Tyler Dahl)

M800 old-style green-stripe (M)

M605 solid blue (with old-style M600 OBB CI by Mottishaw)

M400 old-style green stripe (with M flex)

..I think that's it, IIRC.

 

Have had:

M205 clear and blue demonstrators (with M, B, and stock italic nibs)

M200 black (M)

M215 rings (M stub)

M600 old-style green-stripe (with B stub)

M805 black (with XXF Waverly by Binder...was WAYYYY too narrow for me)

several other nibs (F CI, B, BB, etc. for various pen sizes)

 

Plan to get, at some point:

M1005 demonstrator (with B nib...some custom grind)

M800/ 805 (not sure what color yet, definitely striped though)

vintage birds of some sort with flexy nibs

a brown/ white tortoise

 

LOVE my Pelikans! The larger models M800 and M1000 definitely work better for me, but I still love them all. I'm sure I'll have at least a few more over the years. How could I not?

I'm impressed! We can rationalize and not call it a disease or obsession; just a STRONG appreciation!

I forgot the vintage (one each):

100N marbled green

400 green stripes

400N green stripes

400NN green stripes

130 green black (arrived this morning)

 

It all started end of summer of 2008.

Just joined FPN, entered a small in my village gift/tobacco/newspaper shop and found a lonely NOS (W.Germany, pre-90) blue marbled M200 for 50€.

 

Yes, one (plus access to FPN) is enough to start a new addition...

Aubrey,

 

Thank you as well! I'm using your old nib as my daily writer this week.

[OC Mike]

A little off topic...does anyone know where I can purchase body/cap only for my spare nibs? I know Binder sells them but I'm hoping to find them for less $$ if possible.

[Sidestreaker]

I have these for now...

I agree! I have always loved fountain pens, but I have learned so much about them after joining this site. Obviously that knowledge comes with a price...MORE PENS!!!

Didn't realize I had so many. That's how it happens!

[1962falcon]

Here's mine

 

Three M1000s'.... a Black, a Green Stripe and a Demonstrator with a Broad Stub, an M and M nib respectively. The Stub was custom ground from a B the others are stock factory and super smooth.....love them all.

 

Five M800s'.... a Black, a Red Stripe a Blue Stripe and two Green Stripes. Nibs are three stock Bs', one B is from the 90s and is fractionally the smoother, a Medium and a BB ground to a Stub. Without exception they are all great writers and the Stub is a lot of fun.

 

Two M100Ns with a Soft B and and an OBB..... the SB is to die for, the OBB is fantastic but i dont

 

An M101N Tortoise B.

 

All loved but my desert island choice will be ....Mmmm, that's a question I'd rather not consider but if pushed hard it would be .... the M100N SB and if I could have a second choice it will have to be the M1005 filled with Appleglory.

My sentence about the OBB seems to have got cut-off... must be self-inflicted operator error!

 

It should have continued.... But I don't reach for this nib as often as for the others..... perhaps because it always takes me a few minutes to get it orientated to my hand!
