Starting from mid October 2016 Pelikan will ship the new Limited Edition "The Statue of Zeus". Limited to 300 pieces, this pen pays tribute to the statue of Zeus, one of the seven world wonders of the anciant world. It is a quite stunning pen which plays nicely with another Pelikan design element.

 

For more information and pictures please visit our website: http://www.fritz-schimpf.de/Schreibgeraete/Fuellhalter/Pelikan-Limited-Edition-The-Statue-of-Zeus-Kolbenfuellhalter.html

 

The price of this pen is € 1.900.-, including the German VAT of 19%, which is not applicable for shipments outside the European Union (price without VAT € 1.596,64).

 

Best regards

Interesting, but a little more ornate than I care for. And, well, a LOT pricier than I can afford....

Of all the Seven Wonders pens, this is the most appealing to date. Reminds me of Genesis of the Olympiad and I'm very OK with that. I too just wish it were more affordable.

I like the pen, even though the motif is not really something that speaks to me. Is that based on a M800 or M1000?

The price, of course, is way, way above what can afford.

 

Being white, this pen makes me think of how beautiful a M800 White Tortoise would be... If only they would make it. Sigh!

I'd also like to know about the size (M800 or M1000) and whether all the barrel is semitransparent (behind the gold overlay).

 

Gorgeous pen!

 

Way, way out of my price range.

The Pelikan Statue of Zeus is based on the M700 Toledo and the M700 Toledo has the same dimension as the Souverän M600.

Glad to see the series revived but I would have preferred an m800 size (if not m1000). Price isn't bad considering its low mintage number (300) and in comparison with limited editions from other makers.

Just saw that I had made a mistake in the size description. The Pelikan M700 Toledo has the same size as the Pelikan Souverän M400, not the M600. Sorry.

Glad to see they're finally continuing the series! Now we just need a Mausoleum of Halicarnassus pen. ;)

Ah, this has immediately erased my desire for one. I cannot get used to the M400/M600 size. If it were a M800/M1000, I'd be in trouble! What a pity, it is such a beautiful design, it would have looked stunning on at least a M800.

Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.

I agree that the M400 sizing is a disappointment. Hardly any way to treat a king of gods.

Perhaps diminished Greek economy was taken into account.

      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
