What's Your Most Recent Addition To The Flock In 2017?

Wow! I do not usually (99,99% of the time) care for gold pens but that one... just wow! <3 You can see the extremely high quality work but I also love how they executed the transition from the barrel to the filling knob. It has the same kind of engineered precision tool like quality to it that I loved about the rOtring 600 series. And then some...

Solid gold? Really?

Really.

@mana: It sounds as though you need a new barrel, full stop. There <is> someone here in USA making and selling them, I do know. Use google? ;^)

A very nice 400NN brown tortoise. Still in the mail.

I actually swapped the nib and the cap to my EDC pens to spruce things up a bit (cap to my green 100N and the M-nib to the black 100N to replace the EEF it had before). Just shows one of the things I love about the 100N, it is soooooo easy to swap parts like nibs on the fly. And now they look and feel like entirely new pens!

 

I already have a bunch of collector & a few user grade 100N (the ones that I actually carry around daily) so although it would be kind of nice to have an entirely "new" barrel to complete a fully working pen this satisfies my needs for now. As in, if I get a NOS/minty barrel (and I do prefer the originals as they are still around) it would not be for the EDC but rather, for the collection.

Finally not a bland one, a demonstrator IBIS arrived

Decal from a toledo box? So you acquired a toledo? What’s the range & colour like? Congrats!

Just received a K800 OS Tortoise. Will be a great pair to its lonesome M800. 😀

It's a special model made for Deutsches Telekom in 1994. They're listed with the M200s on pelikan's perch. There was a recent thread about them which spurred me to check on ebay where I came across one.

The actual Telekom ones have their logo on the cap band but Pelikan also had excess stock they sold off that have "Pelikan" on the band, that's the one I have.

Thank you daeng! It is an M900 Black, M nib. My sweet wife bought me the Ocean Swirl for Christmas which left me room to buy myself this on a Black Friday sale. One of three "grail pens" is now in the box

 

LOVE your K800 Tortoise! Congrats to you too sir!

Congratulations! We're pretty sure it won't be your last one

Grats on the Toledo, BillH! I must say, it's very​ handsome in the black.

Not a new pen, but Mike Masuyama did his magic on my M800 blue, formerly with a F nib, now with a stub nib. He did the work at the Colorado Pen Show and turned this rather pedestrian writing pen into a fun pen. Now filled with Akkerman #8 Deep Water Blue and in the rotation again!
