Pelikan M1000

[enricof]

Could someone post a sample writing of the M nib for the Pelikan M1000? Thanks.

 

Quick & dirty scan of my chicken scratches (10mm squares, sorry but scan is not colour-accurate at all).

All M1000 nibs.

Thanks, great examples. Do you have nibs that you can interchange with one another on this pen? I was told that it is difficult to do and expensive to purchase just a nib.

Do you have the M800 with various nibs?

No, they are five different pens sorry, they are just FOUR.

 

I have only one M800 (clear demo), M-nibbed, but it is uninked right now.

5 M1000's, that's amazing!

Do you have any Viscontis or know anything about the Art, Nouveau or Divina?

No Visconti (yet?), sorry.

I guess it would depend on how much anal retentia you suffer about matching pens with inks.

 

For some, a green striped pen would be good for only black, browns, or greens.. a blue striper (not to be confused with stripper, which would be found only in an after hours club on Pandora) would be for black and blues...

 

Now a black pen with rhoduim trim... ahhhh that goes with all colors nicely..

 

Heh...

 

Seriously though, my favorite is the blue stripe, followed by black/silver, then green stripe, then red stripe, then black/gold

 

But, if you're looking to find something that states "Pelikan!!!!!" from a distance, I'd say either the green or blue would do that best.

for me it is black, elegant, sober and classic

Being a traditionalist, I initially went for the green M1000 (fine nib) but liked the pen so much that when I had the opportunity to purchase the elegant black version with a medium nib, I couldn't turn it down.

 

They look great side by side and make a facinating comparison to my MB 149s (but that is for another thread).

 

Forced to choose between the two........ummm.........the green.........just.

 

Pavoni.

Green striped finish!

 

1) More beautiful in my opinion

 

2) Almost scratch-free

 

3) Allows a inward vision of the reservoir, piston rod and piston house

 

4) Classic finish

 

5) Pelikan exclusive finish. Recall the Pelikan pens of the 50's

 

6) This pattern is innovative since it was created

 

7) The black finish makes this pen similar to many other out there

 

 

Edited: I know it's not a good advice for your 1st M1000, but the M1000 3B nib (which is stub in fact) is one of the 3 best pens/ nibs I have. I use it as a everyday pen, however my handwriting is medium to large size.
