I was going to reply that I have several Pelikans:

 

M200 Red/Grey

M200 Blue

M200 "Citron" (in the book)

M215 Black/silver rings

M400 Green Stripe

M400 Brown Tortoise

M620 Shanghai

M620 Piazza Navona

P22 Culture (OK, it's a "fun" pen)

 

Then I went to the Southeast Pen Show yesterday. Added:

 

M620 Madrid (for $200)

M620 Piccadilly Circus (for $210)

400 NN Tortoise Stripe with a nice flexible nib

 

Came home. Wife (SWMBO -- good term) said she would go back to the show today with me, but NO PURCHASES.

 

We did. Wife spotted an M620 Stockholm right away, talked the seller down to $175. She told me to buy it. I did.

 

Told me I couldn't buy an immaculate 100...but I did get the seller's card.

 

Good weekend for Pelikans.

I imagine hubby would do the same if he saw the glint in my eyes. You've got some nice pens there. if you ever need to give something to charity let me know.

 

Best,

Charity (aka K :meow: )

I technically have 2 now (one is on it's way to me)

 

1965/66 Pelikan Silvexa M20 with a M nib

1965/66 Pelikan Silvexa M20 with a BB nib

 

The BB nib one is on its way to me.

and still further trouble.

 

I have no urge for a new pen.

 

but - if I need a fix, I'm afraid it will have to be yet another Pelikan. I keep trying to branch out into other realms (I still lack a "standard" Japanese pen - that is, not a VP). But then, talk of Pelikans pulls me back in.

Recently acquired a M215 Blue and a M400 Tortoise. I definitely see more Pelikans (maybe a M6XX and a bunch of M2XX) in the future, but first I must complete the Tortoise set with a mechanical pencil (for crosswords and sudoku) and a bp for checkwriting. :)

Started on Pelikans with a 400NN - green/black from Savas. Got the hunger.

Added an 800 Souveran - green/black, from Elizabeth Herreid on PT.

Picked up a GO from Dov then a white/tortoise 400 Souveran from Jeff Peirce.

The last suffered from a terminal case of "oooooo that's a lovely pen" and was captured by Management (long may she put up with me).

Can't make up my mind which I like best - leaning towards the 800.

Have to say - the "51" is still king.

Just 2 for now, but I know I will be adding a few more.

 

M400 - Blue/Black Stripe M nib

M400 - Green/Black Stripe F nib

 

I like the fact that I can interchange the nibs between the 2 pens.

I've acquired 3 Pelikans in the last 3 weeks:

 

White Honey M400, 14K Extra Fine nib.

Green M300, 14K Fine nib.

Special M200 Clear Demonstrator from the year 2000, 14K Fine nib.

 

That will be all for Pelikans for me - the rest are too big for my hand. :D

 

A M450 would be sweet one day...but it's a bit beyond the normal budget!

      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
