i've just put in my order with novelli, for delivery to the US in about 60 days, for a very reasonable price. if you folks want in early on this pen, you might want to reserve early as well. (i chose mine with an italic nib, for a change.)

Pelikan no longer produces stock italic nibs though. Or does this edition come with one?

Information on this realease is still a little lacking until we hear from Pelikan themselves but from what I could find, the standard nib offerings of EF, F, M, and B seem to be what we will see with the burnt orange. Individual retailers may have access to italic nibs though and can offer those upon request. That's how I got my M800 brown tortoise fitted with an IB nib.

anyways it has been confirmed....

 

but still blue o blue is not completely opaque it has some transparency to it and you get an idea of ink level.

 

from the pics the burnt orange looks opaque.... guess we would have to wait and watch....

 

also I have no idea why all the companies are going after this combination ....

when I see this combination mb Hemmingway comes to mind.

Well, that would be your answer. I passed up on the Hemingway twice since at the time, the price tag seemed exorbitant (I was still in school). It's the only pen I regret not getting, and I think a lot of other people feel that way. Still, I'm not going to go for a similar looking pen. If a Hemingway out there finds its way to me, that would be a different story...

Btw the Hemingway wasn't orange/black, but a deep burnt orange and kind of ebony/brown black.

it was one of the options offered by novelli, so i'm assuming they have the nibs in stock and will replace whatever comes with the pen. they confirmed my order for an orange M800 with an italic nib, so unless they tell me their italics are all gone, i'll assume they still have them. if they don't, no big deal, i'll ask for a B or an F.

So is this just an acrylic very pretty orange bind on a brown body M800? I wish it had some transparency and may be some ink windows of cool design ( say circular, for example). That would be a classic IMHO....

Well, I'm always game for adding another M8XX to my collection, provided it has a nib I don't already have and a body/cap color I don't already have. This certainly qualifies on the second spec, and nibs are easy.

 

I think it's very attractive, and I'll have to keep a tight rein on my checkbook.


I just wish Pelican would offer some more variations on the M1XXX, which would be an even greater test of my resistance quotient.

Darn you Pelikan. First a gray pen and now this? What's next, Mandarin?

I'm curious if this is a special release for Italy. I'm currently on vacation here and am noticing a wave of terra cotta colored things - could the new Pelikan release be termed terra cotta? Or am I just having jet lagged visions of the original Safari pen?

Great, another limited edition M800. Doesn't Pelikan know that I like M800s and feel compelled to buy every one of these? I still haven't gotten the demonstrator with the labels. Now I have to put another pen on my list. When will this ever end?

Oh, they know... And that is why they keep releasing them :).

I have the same problem. Fortunately for me, after buying the M805 clear demo I realized that my OCD wins by landslide over my compulsion to collect: I just can't deal with demonstrators! This took 3 pens out of my list at once, the M805 with etchings, the M800 clear and the M1005 clear. I'm quite happy that for the first time OCD works in my favor :D .

I just hope they don't tell MB. I only have one Writers' Edition, the Hemingway. The rest of them never did anything for me. But the Bourdeaux 144 and 146, that's another story. And if they made a 149 in Bordeaux . . .

Absolutely right, Pelikan provides this edition with EF,F,M and B nibs. I had a couple of Italic nibs that I assigned to my customers who wanted to reserve the burnt orange with the ITB. Hopefully I will get more ITB before September when the pen will be delivered but in the meantime I have an OB and an OM that can be used on an M800. If anyone is interested I can pre-order it with one of those nibs.

And THAT is why those of us have experienced YOUR "service" think you are as GREAT as we do! I will also have to commend Regina Martini for making it possible for me to have an OBB nib for a recently purchased Pelikan M600 white tortoise. BOTH of you should be examples for other dealers instead of their attitude of "one size fits all!" AND somehow I enjoy the feeling that both of you may enjoy larger sales revenue than those who choose NOT to offer their customers a "choice" & make their purchase "what they want."

I suspect your attention & service are a large part of your success in a business existing since 1951!

The 146 Bourdeaux would be a nice pair with M600 Bourdeaux Old Style.

Nice colours, especially it is rather different from the available options for the whole Pelikan Sovereign lineup.

 

But somehow this does not really calls out to me... :unsure:

      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
