With the first cold and rainy autumn day here in Tübingen, we are happy to have received news

about the next special edition from Pelikan. The Pelikan Souverän Special Edition 600 Vibrant Orange

fountain and ballpoint pen really brighten the day.

The cap and barrel are made of shiny orange acrylic resin with different hues of orange which reflect the

light in a fascinating way. Together with the golden clip and rings the overall impression is very warm.

 

The fountain pen will be offered in four nib sizes: EF, F, M and B.

 

We are offereing these pens for pre-order now. They will be available by mid November. Here is the link to our offer:

In our opinion the black grip section and the piston knob would have been nicer if made in the same lovely color and

not in black. What are your thoughts?

Best regards

Lovely pen! Been waiting for a larger version of the 320 for a long time and here it is. I think the black makes the orange material pop and I love the contrast. The ball pen lacks "something" because of it. ymmv

Yes, I agree - the ballpoint looks nicer because it is all one colour. Also I REALLY dislike the gold finial in the cap compared with the old black one - that applies to all the new models.

 

The orange is still very pretty, though. I might try to see one before deciding.

I think I know what to buy as a birthday present to myself... :) Just wish those came with CI/Italic or stubby B/BB/3B nibs as a factory option, will most likely plonk in a vintage nib as a replacement though.

Oh wow. Other Pelikans have had me thinking about a purchase. Stone garden tempted me, but to be honest 800s are just a bit too big for me. This one's going to be really, really hard to resist. And I was *just* about to push the button on a turquoise stripe m600.

 

I rather like the orange/black contrast. Very nice. It has the same zingy feel as the Delta Dolce Vita orange, though slightly more golden and less fiery.

Too many pens, too little time!

I would like to see a pic with the pen close. I keep thinking that the black end will look weird on its own (with no counterpart at the top)

Well, it goes to show that "taste" is an individual thing. I love the orange with the black trim but am not mad about the colour of the gold trim. ;)

This one is gorgeous. I successfully fought down my desire for a similar Aurora finish. This one is within a more realistic price range...and REALLY tempting.

Fritz - please tell the Pelikan people that a lot of people who are willing to pay the price for this kind of pen really want a more interesting nib grind and assortment. Why buy an expensive pen if it is only available in rather boring Kugel EF, F, M, B?

+1 for Calabria's comment. One of the big reasons I pulled the trigger on the relatively recent 400 tortoiseshell was that I could get it with a broad italic nib. If Pelikan had offered BB or stub/italic with the Vibrant orange, I would already have ordered mine!

Were I to buy any nice modern Pelikan today, I'd automatically have the nib reground to a stub or cursive italic.

I was unsuccessful in the Aurora case and have one of those.

      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
