If you like the color this looks to be a very good deal. I've made two purchases with Endless Pens and have been very satisfied.

Great price! If only I could find the brown tortoiseshell version anywhere near that amount.

if it was possible to nab in EF I'd be seriously considering it.

Me, too. How do you like this line in their advertisement: "There are four variations of the 14-carat gold nib available: M and B"?

It's probably simply the generic description of nibs available for that model in general (EF, F, M, and B ) but with the available inventory limited to 2 out of the 4 possible nibs: M and B.

 

My experience with Pelikan's F is that it's like a juicy medium, so even EF is probably fairly broad. Unless one likes that line width, it seems possibly better to go for the Broad nib with a big ball of tipping and then do something with that.

I actually find my M205 EF to be a true to form western EF, similar to every JoWo steel EF I own.

 

There's a big step up from the EF to the F, and the M.

 

Just better. Man the M205's steel nib is a gem.

      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
