How would an M200 Anthracite demo look with silver

[Eastward313]

My amber demonstrator has gold trim; the color combination is quite nice as the two complement each other. I always thought the gold looked a little out of place on the anthracite. It would be really neat to get one in silver trim so the colors complement each other just like on the amber, but I fear doing this custom modification to an already out of production pen would be impractical. Or would it?

 

Here's a quick approximation of how I think it would look:

That is one sharp piece! I love it. It has a great modern look, but with a classic shape.

Nice, did you photoshop that yourself?

 

I really wish all of the M200 demos were available with silver trim. I own the blue demo, and while it looks great with the gold trim, I think it would look outstanding with silver trim. Its funny I was just thinking about this a couple weeks ago, apparently I'm not the only one who feels silver trim would be a great option on these demos.

Absolutely. Gold trim is sort of classic but, apart from my wedding ring, gold is not a metal I use, wear or even carry very often.

Yes; I found a pic, selected the gold areas and desaturated them.

 

Nice to hear that others feel the same way about the silver!

I'm awaiting arrival of an anthracite M200 (first Pelikan!). I love the gold color. Just like gold and black go well together, I think the gold and gray do too.

 

On some of the other colored demonstrators, silver would look better...

 

Couldn't the silver trim be taken from an M215? perhaps a broken one could be found and just take the trim and nib.

It looks cheap to me, but then silver furnishing have always looked cheap. I held the gold trimmed one up along side your picture and it looked even cheaper. It would be interesting to see how they would sell if Pelikan would run off a batch.

The colorless demo just came out with silver trim. Perhaps the other colors are in the pipeline? I hope so, I'm a big demo fan!

Oh God, then I'd have to get 'em all.

Actually I didn't think about that. I still have to get the red, green, and anthracite with gold trim, much less buying all the rest with silver trim.

 

I do have the M205, and it looks sharp.

I'm unfamiliar with this. Where are you seeing that?

It does not look bad the way it is:

It came out last fall, and I think it sold out pretty quick.

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. I had an M200 in blue, and wouldn't have traded it had the trim not been in gold.
