My Pelikan M8Xx Sized Collection

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I had the camera out and was taking a few photos on a lazy Sunday so I thought that I would snap and share a pic of my M8xx collection. I'm really leaning towards the M8xx sized pens as some of my favorites of the flock. Enjoy!

I thought I was doing well with my 6 M8xx. I only plan on one more M8xx to pair with a spare nib I got in a sale a while back. Once I get that barrel it's off to Newton Pens for some repurposing and I think my M8xx collection will be complete.

I only have one, the tortoise. I bought an M415 years ago when they came out, but had to have the big guy when it came on the market.

Beautiful and inspiring Joshua, thanks so much for posting. That Gaudi is my grail pen :wub: and the Tort and Toledo are on the top of my list... much to look forward to.

Impressive collection and rather thorough too! I've always loved the Gaudi. I think it was a pretty bold design and would love to see something as adventurous again.

Pelikan 800 is the most comfortable pen for me. But I never knew this many variations exists. Beautiful collection and thanks for sharing.

Wonderful collection of one of my favorite pens. The M805 Demonstrator without engravings has the gold trim whereas your M805 with engravings has the silver (rhodium) trim. Were the gold trim produced at the same time as the silver trim or were they produced at different times? Thanks.

Retired, twice. Time to do more things, writing being one.

If it is gold it is an 800. There was an M800 demo produced a few years ago with and without etchings. There were even some produced with etchings in Spanish and maybe German. The pens from last year are M805 and silver.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Your collection is amazing. I've been going through it, googling various editions to get more pictures of them, because I never realized this many existed. Thank you for the picture and the list of all the pens in the picture.

Superb.

Do you use them all?

 

The only ones I have are M800 in green and in red.

 

Keep wondering if I should get an M800 demonstrator (I have none), or an M1000.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
