nice colors

 

~ WLSpec:

 

That's also been my reaction.

An M200 Special Edition Pastel Green in EF would find a place on my writing desk.

It's on my “to be considered” list for 2020.

I'd like to use it in the field for jotting notes about any plant or animal sightings of interest.

Very nice colors just in time for Spring and a good, clear ink window.

However, I picked up seven new Pelikans last year, so I’m trying to dial back the purchasing in 2020.

I admire your restraint in 2020.

Last year was likewise a Pelikan year for my writing desk.

Nonetheless, this Pastel Green and White may find a place in my home.

I am considering the Pastel Green and White. I like the colors, even though I do wish it was a bit larger. If things go as expected, I hope to order one from Fritz Schimpf possibly with their italic modification. But right now there are too many things up in the air. I hope they will come to roost soon.

That's great! A Fritz Schimpf Italic Grind is an outstanding writer.

I may also order a Pastel Green and White Pelikan from Fritz Schimpf.

I'm thinking of an EF nib, as the one EF Pelikan I ordered (Smoky Quartz) from Fritz Schimpf writes margin notes very well.

This might be a Pastel Green and White Spring in a few corners of FPN.

I'm really looking forward to this, as I mentioned on another thread. I just hope that the celery green part has some depth to it, like the Classic-brown, and is not too pearlescent white, which would borderline ruin it for me. I have also started wondering if this year they will introduce a white M600 with grass green stripes (just a feeling), no specific info on that! Not to get on another subject...just a thought!

Oh my. That really IS light. Thanks for the picture, it will help many of us make up our minds.

Thank you for posting the image.

Does that suggest that this model is now available through the leading fountain pen retailers?

If you'd fill it with anything else than a light green ink, it looked quite ugly.

Meh. Not a green for me. But thanks for posting the photo.

I would have to agree. Not for me. But a cool addition!

Thank you ljz for posting a photo. I am rethinking whether this is the right pen for me. I still think I would like it to be a larger pen. Oh well.

Well, I pre-ordered it already so...I think I will like it, despite the smaller m200 size. It is more transparent then I would like (couldn't they have done a colored ink window?), but definitely unique in the line-up.

~ The Special Edition Classic Pastel-Green M200 has been used by field botanists in the Xishuangbanna National Tropical Botanical Garden.



It's located in the southernmost area of Yunnan Province, between Laos and Myanmar.



The pen's light green complements the outdoor setting where various species are cultivated.



It was sent as a gift by European botanists who had previously done research in Xishuangbanna.

That sounds lovely! I can just imagine the different shades of green together... ;)

By the way, what is the extra cost of a Schimpf italic grind? I can't find any reference on the Fritz Schimpf website. And if I do order from there (I'm in the EU and the prices are good) I'd certainly like to get an italic.

Too many pens, too little time!

Until the present, a Fritz Schimpf Italic Grind has been exclusively by request, hence not listed as a regular option.

My experience has been that asking for an estimate for a particular model receives a prompt and straightforward reply.

Their service has been consistently outstanding for a variety of requests, including Italic Grinds.

Interesting information. Thanks for posting.

And good to see you back! We've been kinda worried about you after your internet access was cut off a couple of months ago.

      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
