My most recent Pelikan was my M1000 which I got for quite a fair deal from a B&M. They even include the small pelican pen rest for free.

I of course forgot to say the obvious: that is a beautiful pen!

Got another on the way. I'm using the seller's photo right now until I get a chance to photograph it myself.

After years of buying and using 20 dollar chinese made fountain pens (Duke, Kaigelu, Hero ...many of which I thought were more than decent) as well as Parker 45s and Lamy Safaris I decided to see what the fuss was about Pelikans two months ago and bought a 400NN EF in tortoise. It was beautiful and so light and well balanced compared to the other pens I had. In short order I had an 80s M400 in Broad and then a 140 in M and now another 400NN on the way. I now understand what it means when people warn you that the flock will grow!

I recently bought an 800 in a green striped finish with an Italic broad nib at a bargain price from Avalon Pens. I'm still struggling to get used to the line variations with the italic nib (my first), a problem which I think is complicated by my being left-handed. vinper

Ain't nothing wrong with using what works for you but, I echo your sentiments about the 400NN. Its perfect in my opinion. Its one of my favorite vintage models along side the MB 13x series. I also recently asked Pelikan if they ever plan on rereleasing the 400NN. They told me they are listening to suggestions but plan on continuing with the M101N variations. But, lets keep our fingers crossed that eventually they will rerelease the 400NN.

Congrats on your first! I don't own any modern Pel above the M600 size as I too much like the old ones but, I am seriously tempted by the M800 Tortoise since the tortoise Pels are my favorite. Here's to many more years of enjoyment with you M800!

The pen covers the name. It is the new formula Private Reserve Naples Blue. It has a lot of sheen with this pen. Basically it was new pen, new ink.

There's a new Naples Blue? The original NB is my go-to blue. I haven't bought a new bottle in 6 years as I stocked up then. It looks a lot deeper in color than the other's bright turquoise look.

I am waiting for a pink Pelikano to be delivered. When it is, I'm going to attempt to switch the nib with one from an old Pelikan script pen. Good times.

Pelikan 100 all in black with 18K nib (upper one).

As you can see, the logo is similar, but it is slight larger than usual 14K nib (lower one), and much harder.

It is engraved with "England" (hidden in the barrel).,

      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
