While technically a 600 series, my first Pelikan was a Madrid (the 'red' one,) while the second one is the Stockholm (the 'blue' one.) Both great writers btw.

 

Best wishes for 2006 to all!

Hi,

 

That will be the M620--or in the M6XX range. :)

Mine was an M200 Anthracite. Lovely looking pen, but the OB nib is just B. I am now waiting for an stub from Pendemonium.

 

A Go and a Future came after this one, and I might consider an M800 or even an M1000 in the future (but before them, another Dani Trio all Ebonite Mikado size with stub nib).

Mine was an Amber translucent M200 purchased from Pam Braun at the 2004 Michigan pen show. It's still one of my favorites.

My very first fine pen was a Pelikan New Classique rollerball. We bought it at my wife's insistance because of a new professional position I was in. I'd always been a "Pilot Disposable" kind of writer, which she said didn't fit with my new responsibilities, so we bought something that she felt was more appropriate. That decision about 13 years ago started my pen collection, which has grown to more than 125 pens today! I guess I didn't know what I was missing! I still have the New Classique, too. It sits on the top shelf of my glass case, front and center! :D

My first Pelikan was a Pharoh. Seen here on swisherpens:

IIRC, I got it from Levenger when they closed them out.

Pelikan m215...loved that metal barrel, but it was just a bit small. Or was it? I can't remember now. Maybe I'll have to pick up another one some time! :)

 

I currently have a couple of m600's in my collection.

M200 in translucent grey due to the overwhelming raves and praises for the M200 as a starter pen. Writes wonderfully smooth, but not my favorite pen yet.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
