Currently three FPs:

3. Black/Grey Marble m200

 

I also have three of the m200 rollerballs:

 

1. All black

2. Black/Blue Marble

3. Black/Green Marble

 

I love 'em!

I could never have too many Pelikans, and I certain don't have enough now. But here's the list:

 

Vintage Tortoise 400NN

Black m215

Blue m605

Rose/Gray m200 (I just purchased this from the GB - apparently the color was made for a German company, and it's pretty unique from the standard Pelikan colors).

 

Still to buy:

 

m800/5 - Either green stripe 800, blue stripe 805 or plain black with either trim

Vintage 400 - green stripe

Not much, really:

m600 in all black, M nib

m250 in all black, M nib (yes, I like black pens with M nib, call me boring...)

m200 green traslucent, M nib

 

All three are superb writers. Also have a very old Pelicano, F or M nib, not sure...

 

Would like one day a 100N and a m400 (in black, but maybe with an oblique nib...)

Leaving out the stock I have for sale, I own 16 complete Pelikan pens. 13 are M200s that I use nib demonstrators at shows, 2 are M200s that are in regular use on my repair bench (as nib testers), and 1 is this 1936-vintage 100, the only Pelikan that's actually in my collection.

I've fallen in love with the M625...

...but I have been warned by SWMBO that I can't have one. :)

Six FPs for me, and I don't think I have stopped.

 

M800-old style Black(14ct. B nib) made in "West Germany." Owned since late 1980s currently being made by Richard into an "Itali-Fine."

 

M800-old style Green (18ct. F nib) "Germany." Owned since early 1990s.

 

M800-new style Blue (Monteshaw cursive Italic nib) bought just this year on Green Board.

 

M600-old style Black (M 18 ct. nib) "West Germany." oldest Pelikan, and one of my best and most abused pens of all time. (I take it on long bicycle trips, and lent it out to friends for extended periods) Nib always starts immediately even if left unattended for weeks and weeks.

 

M600-old style Green (M 18 ct. nib) "Germany." Bought last year on E-bay.

 

M200-Burgundy (14 ct. Flex nib) bought this year from Richard. (I did switch nibs so that the M600 Green currently has the flex nib.)

 

Love them all, and consider it the best brand I ever owned.

***A plug here, for the GREAT customer service at Chartpack Pelikan repair! The gray 200 just came back with a new piston mechanism, no charge for anything, and the turnaround was less than a week!!! They even replaced a gold ring that was missing from the filler cap. Another reason why Pel-owners are so happy!

:D

Excellent news, Petra. I'm glad I can smile and say "see, we toldja so." :)

Yeah, Kaweco, what are you doing with that hoard (sorry, collection) of 140s? Getting them ready to share with deserving FPNuts at bargain prices? :) I'm thinking about a vintage Pelikan for my next special pen purchase. I think I need to try one out, so it'll have to wait until after the Raleigh show.

I've had others and sold or traded them away, but the current collection consists of:

 

1. M805 (Blue)

2. M605 (Blue)

3. M620 Chicago

4. M215 (Blue)

5. M750 (on the way)

 

And I'll have that M625 and M420 sometime soon! :)

After promising myself I would buy a lot of new pens, I'm the proud owner of:

GO M75

GO P70(c/c version)

Steno

M200 Transparent Green with newly-ground cursive italic nib

Pelikano (old style I think)

and a vintage 140 that's just wonderful...

and just flew in today......

M605!

This is in chronological order and I can't help noticing that, generally, the cost goes up with each new pen--a dangerous trend!!

 

Planning to have fun with the new one this weekend.

Nothing terribly interesting or expensive for me.

 

2 Pelikanos, 1 older version, 1 newer version.

 

3 Pelikano Jrs. 1 older version, 2 newer version.

 

I like the newer versions better, BTW.

Thanks for the great responses! i just realized i started this thread but forgot to list the Pelikans I own:

 

M200 Translucent Blue, Med Nib

M405 Blue Stripes F nib (i later bought the matching BP and pencil--k405, d405)

M400 Red Stripes OM nib (currently my favorite. love the way the red stripes shine!)

M425 Translucent Green w/ silver cap---my wife and I have joint custody on this! :D

 

..and just today i placed an order for the M400 white tortoise in EF nib. Just could not resist viewing all those pics and avatars i see here in the forum. It was a toss-up between that and the Piazza Navona. It all boiled down to budget.

 

I think that will be it for the next several months i think. But then my birthday is in august... ;)

      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
    • adamselene
      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
