I hope some day Pelikan could issue a special edition of M800 (or M600) Light Tortoise or Lizard based on exact colour scheme of the yesteryears pattern. Please not like the M101N series colour and pattern scheme. The OOTT pens were much more looker. Also throw in a set of well designed nostalgic pen stand, inkwell and box for these pens.

 

These are just a wish (and my 2 cents comment) and do not know when Pelikan can make this comes true.

 

How about your wish for a Pelikan pen?

+1 and I wish I'd gotten the M600 pink too!

There is nothing for me in colors except for the brown tortoise 400NN. for me the nib and its performance takes the precedence in all other models.

For me I wish they would finally come out with a blue stripe M1000!

My wish would be that Pelican re-engineer their fountain pens so that the sword of Damocles barrel and section join would screw together robustly (or be made as one unit) and get rid of the faulty glue job that several unfortunate owners have lamented about. Not good for an expensive pen.

I think this has been rather over egged as, although I know that it has happened, I have never experienced it and I don't know personally anyone who has. Probably not high on Pelikan's list of re-engineering projects.

More nib options. Stubs, obliques, italics. Especially obliques.

Better threads between cap and barrel, ideally one that doesnt scratch the barrel.

Better solution to the current body and section assembly.

M800 in brown tortoise rerelease and M800 white tortoise.

3. Pelikan m405 transparent for $150 available worldwide.
Impossible I know but hey, we can always dream. In the meantime my money's gone to Japanese pens and inks.

Despite the threaded, easy-swap nib unit, many folks recommend against removing the nib unit frequently, e.g, for every flush or ink change. Even if you think that's no problem, wouldn't it be nice to engineer a nib unit and section coupling that was designed and built for exactly that? Inserting and removing the nib unit with impunity is my wish.

"""Better threads between cap and barrel, ideally one that doesnt scratch the barrel."""

 

Wax the pen. Carnauba car wax will do just fine.

I buy mostly old pens, (though have bought a 605, 215, Amethyst and the Marbled Brown) it was seldom I had mars.....but if I did, a bit of finger...no rag, polish with Semi-Chrome removed the mar and wax kept them from ever maring again....

 

I have real vintage and semi-vintage nibs....and only recommend vintage oblique....in I know nail or even springy regular flex W.German oblique....just don't do much at all....a waste of money compared to the stub semi-flex vintage obliques.

I am spoiled with good nibs.................I need a collection of the many pretty 600's..

...even the old blue and red 400's. :headsmack: I didn't take advantage of them when more affordable. :crybaby:

 

 

I've had no problem with my Pelikans breaking at the section nor trouble with screwing in and out the nibs for cleaning.....but I don't hurry the process, screwing out or in.

I think that breaking is more an 800's problem from what I remember.

I had this happen sometime back. I pulled my pen out of my shirt pocket and uncapped the pen. The front section that holds the nib fell off. I had ink all over my car. Pelikan did fix it at no charge.

I take it that it was a M800 as I have never heard of it from any other model? (that doesn't mean it hasn't happened though).

Yes that's correct it was my M800. Sorry, should have put that in the original post.

Sure, that's a solution. Another is, that Pelikan makes a better thread :D

 

I would also like to add to my list of wishes that Pelikan made better ink. Montblanc is, in my opinion, much better in the inks area. I'm missing a nice purple and at least one nice red in the Edelstein line. Ruby is simply not red and Amethyst was a limited time only.

Topaz is one of my favorite inks....

I've not tired the new dark green, glad I have an extra bottle of the 4001 green, a decent green-green shading ink....and MB Irish Green and two bottles of R&K Verdura...both just a slightest tad better in the Green-green shading inks.

 

Aventurine feathers...... :(...liked the color but woolly lines and feathering just won't due.

Jade is boring.

Tanzanite seems OK, but wasn't in a BB mood....or not yet.

 

4001 blue black is very good ink. The black is good if not using a EF or EEF on poor paper.

Violet and Turquoise are ok.

Brilliant Brown is a bit too red for me....but it shades.

Will admit that the last three Pelikan inks I bought are LE... :(

 

But then again I have a 'lot' of MB LE inks....8-10. ;)

      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
