Appelboom posted this to Instagram so I assume it is public knowledge. Wow looks beautiful, almost as nice as the white tortoise M400.

Just posted about it to my site. Its called the M200 Gold Marbled. The Tortoiseshell White M400/M600 was the first pen I thought of when looking at this one and searching for a comparison. We've never seen an M2xx with white resin components.

I really love this one. The same colours as the M400/600 white tortoise pens, but marbled rather than striped. This and the Star Ruby suggest Pelikan has seen the chance to take the M200 pens forward in a rather different way from the Souveraen lines, a little funkier and not perhaps quite so 'safe for work' :-)

 

I have a copy of my original thoughts when I started out with Pelikan, and it says in a bold line "I don't collect 800s or 200s". Well, I still don't collect 800s because for all their lovely finishes, they're just a bit too big for me; but the rest of that sentence is complete piffle! As soon as the amethyst demo came out, I lost my will to resist.

Too many pens, too little time!

Hahahaha! And I just - within the last hour - ordered a Cafe Creme.

Oh, I like it. Being not so sure about the ruby red, I was accepting the idea of not buying another m2xx this year. But seeing this one, I probably will ❤

I haven't bought any new pens in a few years, but this one looks great and is a definite addition. Even though I have no need for an additional pen. :wub:

Here's hoping Pelikan have addressed the issue with their white resins being more prone to cracking and failures...I'm not convinced, so I would pass.

I loved my Café Crème. Till I lost it. Then lucked into a used one, and spent half of the Triangle Pen Show that year trying to find a replacement B nib to swap in for the firehose IM nib that came on the second one. Then three months later lost/misplaced THAT one, too. :wallbash:

Very tempted by this new one though. Figure that an M200 will cost WAY less than the M600 Violet.... Of course the pen shopping budget is somewhat curtailed at the moment until we get the furnace fixed. Some stupid little box containing an electronics board costs the better part of $400 US. And I'm not sure that includes labor to install it.... :wacko:

This might be the first M200 I will probably buy. I like the ink window and would be interested in trying a steel Pelikan nib that I keep reading good reports about.

well, except the m205 all white of course...

 

but I do see what you mean, this could be a start of white M200 with other colour binde...

Good memory. I was thinking more along the lines of white resin in a more complimentary role rather than the one note of the white M205 if that makes sense.

I thought of you whenever I looked at listings for the CC. I bought a used car back in May that, like your furnace, has been cutting into my pen money. Hopefully this new gold one will be around for awhile.

I still dont know how the acrylic bindes are made ... with an ink window to boot. My blue marble M205 looks and performs amazing, I prefer it over much more expensive offerings.

 

This color combination is tempting and a prime candidate for swapping in a vintage gold nib.

I believe this issue was addressed some time ago - it was the first production run of the white tortoise which had cracking issues, and Pelikan changed the formulation.

 

 

That's good news. I hadn't ever heard any confirmation from Pelikan it was an acknowledged issue and that they had taken steps to resolve it. Did they send out an announcement or something?

I don't know whether there was any announcement, but I have been told this by a couple of vendors (informally at pen shows), and it seems there has been a decline in reports of cracking on the forums, too.

 

I suspect Pelikan wouldn't have chosen to issue the new series of pink, turquoise, white transparent, and violet M40Xs unless they had full confidence in the formulation they are now using. (But then, sometimes companies do weird and wonderful things that don't bear much relation to sustainable long term strategy... that's just my reading of the situation.)

Too many pens, too little time!

My first thought was ...yes!

My second thought was white cap. (read of fears of white caps, problems with white caps or piston knobs not shouted so loud in black)

My third was looking at my black marbled gold or marbled brown of the 200 sitting on a sheet of note paper under my nose. For a nope....the Star Ruby is next.

The m2xx aren't made of binde, they are pure resin pens.

well, that's a know fact,

I was carrying 4 pens with me to the office this week, 3 converter pens and an M200, when eventually all 3 converter pens stopped working due to ink not reaching the nib (although ink was still in the converter...) the only pen that saved the day was the M200...

I'm never without one...

      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
