So, I'm Thinking About Going Full-Pelikan...

[Calabria]

Probably the wrong time to move into Pelikans (a bit like Bitcoin ) because in recent years the prices have become silly expensive.

I agree, prices have increased, especially on eBay

What about an M805 Stresemann?

As the title says, I'm thinking about going full-Pelikan with my collection.

 

What would you suggest for my collection? 1 of each model, each colour of each model, all the LEs?

 

I have an M1005, M1000, and M800.

 

 

What a coincidence, I came to the same conclusion yesterday!

 

For my hand, the M80x is the best size, so I decided for me to concentrate on the Special Editions of the M800. At the moment they bring out 1-2 each year. So that's within my budget and leaves room for a couple of other pens or for the case that I come across a discontinued model.

Thanks for all the thoughts guys!!

 

I realise my original question was a little vague. My preference is for M10xx sized pens, but there aren't too many to collect for the size. I do love the look of a lot of the M8xx though!!

 

I also have a 400NN

Thanks to reading Bo Bo's posts on proper grip, and others on movement with the arm and shoulder, not just the fingers, I am now using my 400s through 800, without discomfort. In the last month, I've used my Vintage 400s, which are superb, even more than my 600s posted, and my 800 unposted, each of which is marvelous. And, all have been utterly comfortable. I appreciate all of your patience, with the proper physical handling of the fountain pen.
