Nicely done. I love the size of the M600s, and 605s are my color of choice for trim. So now I know I need a F nib for the newest pen on my "I want" list. Love that color,and great choice of ink. Thanks!

Some people say they march to a different drummer. Me? I hear bagpipes.

I think a Pelikan fine is as fine as I would ever go....unless the nib was Messrs Binder or Mottishaw tuned as 8/10 to be wet and quick flowing!

 

Thanks for posting the video. Lovely M605!

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

My blue 605 (2005) is not see through. You have a prettier pen.

I am awaiting a delivery of mine with F. I have the M800 blue o' blue already; so, this M600 marine blue should be a nice addition.

 

As Pelikan's EF does not lay down thin lines anyway, I opted for the F nib instead.

Looks great! I wish they would release a m800 or even m1000 version of the blue demo in rhodium trim. My only gripe on the 600s is the snap-press piston mechanism is not disassembly friendly like the 800-1000s.

The back piston knob on mine was actually very loose even when tightened all the way down. Anyone else have this problem with the snap-fit m200-m600s? Sent it Chartpark this week.

I have this exact problem with the 605 I just bought. Did you ever get it resolved?

Latching onto an older thread and a bit off topic, perhaps, but I take note of the fact you have a blue/black M215...I have not seen one of those for sale anywhere for a while. Lucky you!

I have noticed that on my Marine Blue as well. It kind of went away with use though.

The material seems more flimsy than the regular line, but the pen is quite hardy nonetheless - I've travelled with it extensively.

      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
