Great pens and great nibs. Not much more to say, so go for it!

I have the white model and can recommend without regret.

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

Answer is YES. I have the white-silver model M205 in extra-fine. This is my best pen with a steel nib.

I have a green marbled M200, which I love, and a red M205 is on my to-buy list. Nuff said!

I have the Taupe 205 and love it. Just the right size for me and smooth writer.

I love my duo highlighter with BB nib. Stays with me all the time. Great for grad school!

That is a neat color - I hope that, at this point, you went ahead and bought the pen!

Yes, if you like the red. The m2xx series are terrific pens. I've had some nib issues with early 2000s models but earlier NOS models and more recent ones have been very good out of the box.

      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
