What Would Be Your Pelikan Pen Wish?

[Orange25]

An M600 in any of the following marbled colours: green, blue, red, white, yellow, amber or purple.

 

And the obvious one: for the price to come down a lot!

[mitto]

That's sad Khan, I would think that a new barrel would be rather difficult to source.

Yes, Peter. Especially because I need a barrel with section that takes the press fit nib unit.

M600 tortoise

 

Bring back the BB and 3B nibs. . Issue IB nibs for M600 and M800 as "standard issue."

 

I love most of the M620 City/Famous Places pens. I have about half of them. There is only one other I would like to have, but current prices are way high. A reissue would presumably be at lower prices. Maybe some new models with interesting materials.

For me, I think it would be one of the Striated Pink ones from a couple of years ago, but as an M400 (the M600 was a bit on the heavy side for me). And the re-release of the M200 Café Creme (or for my lost one to turn up... ).

My Pelikan pen wish for 2018 would be:

 

1. M1000 with the honey green barrel of the white tortoise with the cap, grip and piston knob in the dark brown of the brown tortoise.

 

2. M400 with raden stripes.

 

3. BB, OB, IB nib options

[Mew]

Something new in M1000 range which isn't Maki-e or Raden.

Perhaps Brown Tortoise in M1000?

[sargetalon]

I'd like to see more interesting and varied nibs with some character from the factory. Other than that, I'm happy to see the M8xx lines continue to grow as its become one of my favorites.

[jrusting]

Ocean Swirl in the M600 size. Perhaps it will happen someday, you never know...

[stephanos]

As many others have said: more nib variety.

 

Other than that, though, I have no specific wishes for new models.

 

Having said that, I would like to get a few of the older models, like some of the M640 series (like the lovely Niagara Falls or Mount Everest).

​Here I am with another 'out there' suggestion:

 

When you get another batch of inks samples, what pen do you use for writing samples? I usually reach for a Pelikan because they are so easy to clean. I have thought for the longest time that I ought to have a dip pen for this purpose. Now and again I make half hearted attempts to acquire one. I am currently in search mode. There is no shortage of items available on EBay but I seem to constantly be out bid on those which strike my fancy, (proof that I am not exactly burning up for one of these).

 

I have not seen anything that makes me break out in a sweat, but in the search I have imagined my fantasy dip pen, this item would have a classic Bauhaus look; a solid (not striated) tortoise shell pen with a springy gold nib capable of a decent amount of ink. All the better if it came in a nice presentation box, lined with brown felt.

 

Who better than the House of Hannover to produce this gem? It would be ridiculously expensive, but I would buy it. Pelikan has so much potential, but seemingly so little vision. I am not suggesting that they drop their standard offerings, and start producing tie died lederhosen, but jeeze, just a small line of occasional items that are different, out of the ordinary, or 'experimental'. Is this really too much to ask?

[markshan]

M1005 Streseman or bringing back the BB and BBB nibs... Just imagine the stubs you can make from those

[amk]

Tie dyed lederhosen!!!!!!! that did make me laugh. Out loud. Literally.

 

But they would have to be from Faber Castell, who are, unlike Pelikan, based in that particular neck of the woods where lederhosen are de rigueur.

[htimsdj]

I wish Pelikan would remove the metal trim ring near the nib.

I wish Pelikan would remove the metal trim ring near the nib.

 

Add a "me too" here!

[RocketRyan]

M1005 white tortoise.

[RocketRyan]

M800 demo with ruthenium trim... M808 maybe lol

[mana]

+1 for less trim bling. Prefer the way the vintage ones were set up.

[ItsMeDave]

I’d like to see:

1. M800 in a striated yellow

2. M80? black with rose gold nib & trim

[Oobly]

400NN White Tortoise with vintage 14k nib?

 

I guess I'd settle for an old style M400 in White Tortoise (without the gold bands on grip and filler) and swap in my own vintage nib and feed.

[mehandiratta]

more nib option... rather than plain boring fine, medium, broad nibs
