Not a new pen, just a new group picture of my Tortoises:

from top down:

 

Pelikan 101, 1936

Pelikan 101N, 1938

Pelikan 400, 1950*

 

*Pelikan did also 2 caprings on the light tortoise 400, to match the 101N. I like this detail. (The common black 400 caps were injection molded. The light tortoise cap tube was turned from solid celluloid.)

Love that 400, actually I love all three of these pens, and a tortoise 101 or 101n is on my lust list, (likely, some where far in the future I suspect).

My first Pelikan! So excited about its arrival on Saturday! It's a M600 Blue-Black with a Medium Nib :D

 

Almost got the M800, but after looking at reviews & videos, I think the M600 would suit me better for lenghty writing sessions... for now :P

 

Subsequently got a Pelikan Stola 3 yesterday. So I have 2 in my flock now? :)

Nice.

What's the MB?

It's a Starwalker Urban Speed with a fine nib. After using the Pelikan M600 with a M Nib, I sent the MB back for a nib exchange from F to M. Reason? Mainly because I love how the broader nib shows more of the expressiveness of an ink's colour... :)

Thanks, it does look attractive.

I picked up a 400 at a good price, because it had a misaligned piston, a quick adjustment and its as good as new.

I was however surprised when I checked out the nib to find a DEF (Durchschreib Extra Fein)

short tines and hard as nails.

A beautiful 400NN with an exquisite OBB nib:

Just arrived today, so haven't had a chance to ink it up. I suspect it will be a hit at the Pelikan Hub meeting next month.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Great score! I love the Hunting.

I saw that hunting LE at a table late this afternoon and wondered how it was still there. Nice score! And now I'm sorry I missed you at the DC show, Joshua, would have been nice to meet and say hello to a fellow pelikanphile in person :)

I can understand your excitement. Felt the same last winter, waiting for my first Bird, also an M600 Blue-Black:

Still my only Pelikan, but I'm thinking of some vintage Birds lately. With a nice OB nib...

Practice, patience, perseverance

Ditto. So many people there makes it hard to run into someone. Crowds tend to overwhelm me as I'm more of an introvert. I'm sure our paths will cross again in the future.

      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
