@jmccarty3 -- Agree with the others. That is one gorgeous pen. And I don't even LIKE orange. :headsmack:

BillH's description of "marmalade" nailed it.

Now you've got me putting another pen on the WANT list. I can't afford one of the Anthracite Stresemann M405s and you're dangling *another* bird in front of me? Totally unfair.... :gaah:

Ibises are lovely indeed!

 

My humble new daily writer. I still find 100s more aesthetically pleasing but prefer using pens made of plastic over celluloids.

 

There is also another reason I love Pelikans for: making the most of the available space inside: 1.75 ml of the ink capacity (100N in this case) and the pens opened are less than 5mm shorter than when capped.

 

Also, in my opinion, Germans perfected soft steel nib production.

It's gorgeous. Though in not a big fan of the looks, it seems to be a wild look to me.

 

 

Just received a luminous little orange M320 with a medium nib, just the thing for trying out some of my new orange inks. It's a tiny thing--I'd never actually laid hands on one.

I did, indeed it inspired me to finally seek out and buy one. Luckily the LA pen show was just around the corner and I promptly found one!

 

The added heft from the sterling clip and furniture makes this pen feel satisfyingly solid. Just slightly moreso than the M800.

Just ordered my first Pelikan.....a 1950's 140 with a medium nib.

 

Any advice on what to expect writing experience wise?

      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
