M650 Nib And M700

[rhr2010]

Can somebody let me know if an old style 650 nib from the 80s would fit a M700 Pelikan?

 

The web site of Richard Binder seems to imply that this nib might collide with the cap of a 400 and an M700 might be the same size actually.

 

Can somebody shed some light for me?

Thanks

An M7xx is a small, M400 sized pen, and the old style M600 were that small, too. But I don't know those old 650s, were they the same as old style M600 FPs? I sold my o.s. M600 burgundy, so I can't check it any more. But I still have M750 and M760.

I bought a M650 from the 80s, two tones 18kT nib and I was told that fits a vintage 400, therefore I assume it wil fit my M700. I will let you know once I get the nib.

 

On the site of Richard Binder it is stated that M6xx nibs might be too long for M700 and clash with the cap, while they screw fine. I think there might be a difference betweeen a current M650 and a M650 from the 80s, this one being shorter, as I am told it fits a vintage 400. In a week or so I will be able to test.

 

Thanks!

The M600 pens before 1997 were the same size as the M400, if that helps.

Thank you Joey.

 

Indeed I received two nibs (dating back to the 80s) that allegedly should be for an M650 and they fit perfectly M750,M760 and M700.

Sometimes all you need is to run a little experiment.

 

I guess the issue is that modern M600 nibs are too long for the M700 class pens. That is what is written on Richard Binder website and I am sure he tested.
