Thanks Diderot :) Glad you liked it. When I saw this again in the post, it looks like the first picture has a bit of blue cast, don't you think ?

 

 

Yes, perhaps just a hint - at least on my monitor, but it does not alter the fact that it is beautiful.

I don't own a Pelikan. Never have, and never thought of buying one. Until now.

 

It might be the photography. :)

 

Well you better :D

well, since this thread is still alive and kicking, for those of us who are on the fence whether to go for the M1000, here is another picure that will hopefully tilt the balance towards the enigmatic bird.

All the best !

Your photos will keep this thread alive as long as you want. My Pelikans have been grooming each other since I logged on and showed them your photos.

Teetering dangerously...

 

I'm caught between

closing my eyes, holding my nose and jumping in...

and putting my hands over my ears and yelling "na na can't hear you."

Do the former, you won't regret it. Pelikan makes some very nice pens.

Close you eyes and jump in :D , the Pelikans are already swimming and waiting for you , if you like to ease yourself in and dip a toe instead of a dive, try the M215 Lozenge (Rhombus) inexpensive, beautiful, workhorse. At least that's how I transitioned from the kid's section to the deep-end so to say; but I see you are brave, Go for it - an M800 or a M1000.

I missed this thread previously. That is a wonderful bird that you have there made all the more exquisite by your awesome photography. Makes me all the more envious as the M1000 is still the one major hole in my collection to date. I will look upon your photos and continue to dream. Thanks for sharing.

PELIKAN - Too many birds in the flock to count. My pen chest has proven to be a most fertile breeding ground.

There is no doubt that a guy like you needs and M1000 (and an M1005). I do like the springiness of the bigger nib, but for longer writing sessions, I prefer a smaller Pelikan.

+1 to that.

Glad you liked the site. I have 1 or 2 birds roosting at home ;-). Actually just bought my 100th bird today. I think that calls for a beer after work.

You certainly deserve a beer for that. I had a Dos Equis with my burrito at lunch to celebrate—just in case. I was done with work for the day anyway.

Thank you ian1964, you are very kind with your words. Hopefully, i'll be able to upload a few more pictures of pens from another German manufacturer soon (hint : its not the snow-capped one) ;-) . Possibly a review to go along with it. Thanks again.

      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
