I just posted an announcement on my site about this new M805 Stresemann but thought I'd share some pics that I dug up here with you...

They definitely look great. Is this pen in particular called "Stresemann" or is that the general name for the striped patterns on the Pelikans? ( I remember reading something about "Stresemann" having something to do with someone who wore striped suits.)

The term generally refers to the pinstripe pattern on Pelikan's pens and has been around for some time. It's also an informal nickname for the Souverän line. It seems that it may be adopted as this model's name. When I found the above pictures in the media archive, they were labeled as M805 Stresemann.

That is so scrumptious.

 

They've got me with this one, even though I would have preferred an M400 size like the original-ish black striped incarnation. And I see it features the new all-rhodium plated nib as well.

 

And if people feel that black on grey is a bit underwhelming, they can wait with bated breath for the pink tortoise M600. I'm grabbing both :)

Very nice, except the nib.

 

A nib more sober without ornament (look cheap...) as the m101n or Montblanc heritage 1912 would suit better IMHO.

A futur m605 in this dress ?

Yawn. Actually I agree it is a nice looking pen, and I think they are smart to put it out there in the M800 form; they make a little more money and we are all attrracted to the 'big but understated' pen, still, I am slightly under-whelmed.

 

So much for the red cup clue.

I think it's a definite improvement over the straight black model; kind of reminiscent of the black striped 400's from the 50's. However, I have never been a fan of black pens, so my wallet is happy. Now if they had come up with M400 model with the black/grey-striped barrel and a sterling cap and turning knob (like the M425), I might feel different.

Well... it's neither my colour nor my preferred size. So I gonna save much money. :D (Which I'll spend on other nice pens like a red M600, or a vac filler... so no money saving in the end. :mellow: )

Oh, there I was all excited it was a new model across all the sizes, which would have made more sense!

 

Guess I'll be saving some money. I'm digging the silver on grey though, and I think this choice was pretty gutsy of Pelikan.

It'll be interesting to see if it's a hit or not. I wonder if they were inspired also by Montblanc's Balzac WE (besides the original grey 400, of course).

Looks cute but in fact, it seems just the next overpriced plastic pen with a fantastic "nib 'n feed". Keep it around € 150, I could be tempted, otherwise I will skip it in a heartbeat.

Dang, I REALLY like that black and silver, but I'm sure a M800 is out of my price range.

 

I had to skrimp and save to get my M405.

I don't know but they screwed up the new york city special edition pen from a few years ago. they should start by redoing that and issuing an apology to all new yorkers that bought that horrible cow pen thinking it has to look better in person.

That would look awfully nice next to my M101N Lizard...

 

At first I was underwhelmed but you're right. It would be nice beside the Lizard...but in a M605 form factor.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
