I ordered the Pink Stripe M600 from Germany, with an "OB" nib. I'm wondering if I misunderstood what that would be like. I'm not finding anything even remotely like "oblique" in this new nib.

I have an M200 that I bought in the late 1990s, with an "OM" nib, and it clearly had a chiseled feel to it, that gave a distinctive line similar to a dip calligraphy nib. But the brand new OB nib is missing that sharp feel, and the line is broad, but not sharp.

Has anyone else had that experience?

Congratulations on your purchase! The greenish tortoise pattern on the M450 together with the vermeil cap makes it one of the most beautiful Pelikans ever.

These pens are not easy to find, nor are they cheap. After a lot of searching I finally bought one from a vendor in Russia.

Thanks Carlos and congratulations to you as well. I have yet to get it in my hands. So have no experience on how it writes. Would love to hear your experience with the pen.....

That surely isn't my concept of an oblique nib. It appears to have been mislabeled.

I would contact the seller to have it changed.

Thanks for the responses. I would send it back to Germany, but I have heard from other Pelikan users that the modern (recent) oblique nibs are simply shaped like this —now. A slight disappointment, but not a deal-breaker.

Black M1000 medium nib. This pen is a nice companion to my Green M1000 EF. Wet and juicy, which isn't much of a surprise.

My M205 Amethyst arrived a couple days ago, along with a Cafe Creme for my husband. Very happy with both.

Pelikano P460... 2 Euro at the antique shop down the street from La Couronne du Comte (where I purchased a bottle of Sailor Jentle Four Seasons Tokiwa Matsu) and right next door from the art supplies store where I got a new Brause dip pen and a couple of dip nibs... Hmmm Nieuwlandstraat in Tilburg is starting to become my favourite street to shop, as there's a record store that sells quality music as well...

Two rollerballs R400, one Green striped for me and one Red striped for the wife.

I know rollerballs don't really count... But I couldn't pass on the deal.

      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
