i'm sure we'll fix your lack of Pelikans before too long, Roger.

 

Thanks to the guys for taking on the moderatorship of this forum and making it possible.

Wonderful News.

 

I suggest they send each of us a Pelikan so we are "attracted" to their forum! :lol:

I'll take a Stockholm or Athens - fine nib please :P .

 

(Glad to see the Pelikan forum)

How about an M625 medium nib? This is great news.

That's a M400 White Tortoise. Definitely in my top 3 pens. The purpose of the plastic dog was to show the ivory white of the pen vs. the stark white of the plastic dog.

 

and it is the best reprsentative I have of my dog as she won't hold still for pictures with a pen in paw. :P

Thanks for that KCat!

 

I had a look and took a test write with a M800 in red stripe; very nice writer, with medium nib. Had a steady ink flow from dipping. It was 250GBP. However, I wasn't sure what to make of the construction. It was very light for a large pen but more disconcertingly, I thought the cap clip to feel insubstantial, as if it would break like brittle plastic (though thank goodness it didn't do that at the pen store! :P )

 

I found myself more impressed with the Cross Townsend in sterling silver on sale atg 68GBP and wrote a much wetter and enjoyable line. Mind you, the plastic feeder under the nib seemed a little off centre, as did the others stacked up behind the demonstrator. The gold tipped nibs were better fixed underneath.

 

Even so, I can see why the Pelikan is potentially superior: the nib IS its crowning glory and for that alone I could be tempeted, but you'd have to wax a bit more lyrical about Pelikans before I could commit to one :D

I have a Townsend and it is a good pen, indeed. But you'll find that any time I can mention my Pels... I will. :rolleyes:

Ahh, well if the clip on the cap is metal then that helps answer my quality concerns. Will just have to look out for a M800 at a bargain price!

 

Thanks for that KCat.

      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
