Browsing the web last night, I came across this beauty

 

https://www.iguanasell.co.uk/collections/pens-primary/products/pelikan-special-ed-souveran-600-vibrant-orange-fountain-pen-809542

 

The picture doesn't show up well on my device, but the material looks to be the same as the M320 Orange. Yummy!

There are so many very, very nice 600's....but they have a serious problem....$$$$$.

This one seems to be priced ok - as such things go

Only F,M and B nibs are available. The BB, 3B, OB etc are sold out.

 

Sadly, a few years ago (five, maybe?) Pelikan stopped manufacturing anything other than EF, F, M, and B for regular distribution. They have apparently also been resistant to large special orders for nibs like the IB (italic broad).

Already ordered mine. It will make a nice big brother for my orange M320.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Very pretty. I'm not sure if I will order it. I wish the orange were a bit darker, like Delta's orange; I'm not a huge fan of orange on the yellow side.

I'm definitely a fan of this one. Been waiting for a while for the announcement. Pre-order went in this morning but I would like to see some real world pictures. I'll reserve judgement till then. For what it's worth, I see some people wanting the piston knob to be the same color but I personally like the contrast. Same feeling I had with the M800 Grand Place.

The nibs are kind of like blanks - I've noticed that FPNers have them ground to their specifications

Ordered mine yesterday from the Nibsmith w/ EF nib. M600 is my favorite size, and I have the Vibrant Green to keep it company.

The GT enhances the orange, would look lovely in a M1000. ;)

That was a shame but I am hopeful for their return... :(

It was a USP for the brand and they should have continued, perhaps for a small premium.

Sadly, my preferred nib grades are OB, OBB, BB, and BBB, hard to get any of those from a regular B nib.

You forgot OBBB.

The 3B and O3B are very juicy and borderline 'marker' category, IMO. :drool: A great way to get rid of ink or thoroughly enjoy it.

      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
