I'm using am M800 that I just got from a FPN member Powerbroker, super nice person, very smooth transaction.

Anyway, the pen is amazing.

I also have an old 600 but I prefer the 800 for its size.

I have been using my old 100N, with very flexible medium nib.

 

Now, may I (slightly) hijack this thread, momentarily? The nib in my 400NN is marked KF and others here have mentioned DEF, etc -- I have no idea what the K and the D prefixes stand for -- anyone, please?

 

I see that the nib of my little Ibis is marked with a very small O; but it is certainly no obllique nib.

 

So much to learn -- and this website is so huge...

I believe the K is kugel. It translates as "ball" and refers to the shape of the iridium on the tip. I think all the new Pelikan nibs would have been called kugel back in the day.

K=kugel, a rounded ball, D=durchschreib, for writing carbon paper.

Nice pen Hari........I have a 381 & Celebry inked in the cup, both a marbled green lacquer, but the pen I am using is my black medium-small 150 M that I inked for the first time yesterday.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

I love the M150 nibs. I have one pen in black and several nib units. I bought the pen used, it is terrifically worn out, but is still in one piece! The 150 nibs seem to be scarce now and priced costlier than the M200 nibs. Has the M150 been discontinued?

In case you wish to write to me, pls use ONLY email by clicking here. I do not check PMs. Thank you.

Pelikan.com no longer lists the M150 on its site but there's still plenty new ones available on ebay. The pens will run almost as much as a plain black M200 but I find the nibs are usually cheaper than the 200s if not by much, $5-10 maybe..

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Classic striped 140 with F nib (that's really close to M). Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite looking rather black to dark navy blue.

Now this is a resurrected thread but a good one. Mine is an M605 White Transparent with CI nib and Edelstein Aventurine.

How do you like the white transparent sargetalon?

 

Today I mostly used my green striped 140 Fine with Pelikan 4001 Blue Black.

Today, I used my green stripe M600, with broad italic by Pendleton Brown, with Monteverdi Horizon Blue, my black, with gold furniture M800 with medium italic by Pendleton Brown, with Monteverdi Olivine, my 400NN tortoise, with OM, with Robert Oster Lake of Fire, and my 400 tortoise, with Pelikan Smoky Quartz. They are all superb writers, and very different. I love each writing sensation.

      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
