Would M800 Or M805 Be Correct Model?

Looks like an 805, since it appears that the furniture is silver.

Agree 805

M805 Streseman, rhodium plated nib. Produced from 2014 or 2015..

Nice model.

But it has green stripes, not black....

Here is another screenshot:

Sorry, did not noticed exact color..

I know only one M805 striped version- Streseman. Could it be mixed parts?

[andreik]

I guess it could be... but all of them?

If it´s green, it has to have gold trim and it is an M800. There are no green M805s.

 

The colours are strange in those screenshots, but taking this into account, the second picture could indeed show gold trim.

I am not even sure if we see a bicolor nib in the first picture or a completely rhodinated one.

 

Could you give us screenshots where also the orange one is in the picture, please?

Seller in presented ebay listings states that trim is silver colored. So, I still think that there is M800 series pen without correct designation, assembled from 800-805/815 different parts.

Ah, hadn´t seen the link.

So it is silver trim on a green pen. Very strange.

Fun to guess, isn't it? It would be easy to swap out the filler mechanism from an 805, and the cap. The section ring would be more difficult, though it can be done. I've replaced damage trim rings on these pens, and it could of course be plated if one has the equipment.

 

Since it was purchased from a B&M store, it could be a custom order, could it not?

[sansenri]

would it be possible for it to be an M805 in black to which the binde has been substituted with a green one?

I suppose, but it would be more of a pain than it's worth - easier to replate the trim ring, and then switch out the filling mechanism. A binde doesn't come off easily.

 

OTOH, I have on occasion been known to do something just to tweak other pen mechanics. I don't sell them, but it's fun.

 

This was an test to see if I could transplant a section to a tortoise 400. The modern brown went on the clients pen, but this was done as the test, and now sits in my pen case. Tortoise with black section and grip knob, used with a black 400 cap. The picture shows an early cap, but because the barrel is straight and narrower end to end, it doesn't post. Vintage nib too....

Hello:

I agree the pen is a customization on a M800 green stripes of current production. The parts are changed with a M805 model and the nib ring is replated to rodium (all jewerly knows made it, and its cheap).

Not a current official model, but a good idea for a discrete personalization.

Regards.

Thank you, All!

 

Looks like some people really hate gold plated pens...
