I won't have it in hand until Wednesday to really go over it but I may have found a rather special bird if it checks out;

A Pelikan 100N with gray/black binde, cork piston, and nickel trim. Probably late 30s/early 40s. 14K gold fine nib. Can't wait to have it in hand because if it turns out to be as advertised, it may indeed be a more rare find.

M405 Stresemann EF arrived today. It's very handsome, in a seriously low-key way - "sober" I think best describes it. The hard part now is waiting for the Take-sumi to arrive.

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

Sargetalon:
A Gray binde 101N is on my list as well, the nickel trim makes it something apart. The photos make indicate a pen in nearly pristine condition. Looking forward to hearing your report.

The pen arrived today. The listing was inaccurate and its actually a synthetic seal. That seems to date the pen 1949-51. Just need to clarify the cap and whether its original to that time period. Overall tremendous shape. Some corrosion and pitting on the clip and the piston knob has a slight indent but overall very clean.

PELIKAN - Too many birds in the flock to count. My pen chest has proven to be a most fertile breeding ground.

Sorry for the discrepancy, but it is still an excellent pen. Congratulations. Look forward to hearing about, and seeing an example of how it writes.

Ill be doing a full post on this variant looking at both earlier and later versions. Hopefully will be up in a few weeks.

A newly acquired Pelikan M100 with fine nib.

This is an incredibly well designed writer, one of my all-time favorite pens. Congratulations 🎈

I'm on the fence about M1000. It the nib turns out to be craptacular then I won't use it and would likely not have the patience to deal with it and get it fixed.

Though I had it just over 2 weeks now, I hadn't yet inked it but tonight, tired of waiting for the Take-sumi to arrive, I filled it with KWZ Maroon (which occurred to me would be a good alternative) and I can officially add the M405 Stresemann to my flock. It's quite handsome, even nicer than the photos suggest, and looking forward to trying it at work tonight.

 

^^ OCArt - That is seriously lovely. Grats!

Beautiful pen! R&K Sepia? Or a dusky purple?

Dave: I admit to being one of those who likes ink and pen to have a connection of some kind, so my first reaction would be to fill this really beautiful pen with something sepia, tan, or golden brown. KWZ El Dorado or Bungubox Ebisu Gold, maybe, but Callifolio Inti or Inca Gold would be magnificent, in my view.

 

I do also like bbs' suggestion of a dusky or misty violet. The obvious choice would be J. Herbin Poussière de Lune, but something more subtle like Robert Oster's Opal Mauve or de Atramentis Heather Violet might be nice.

 

So many options for a gorgeous pen like that!

 

BTW, what size nib?

Congrats!

IMO, that is the most beautiful of all M620s.

      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
