Fritz Schimpf Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 We have just received word that this years Pelikan maki-e fountain pen will be released in June. The Maki-e Peacock Limited Edition is, judging by the pictures, a beautiful pen with a hefty price tag. Here is a picture of this beauty: The Maki-e Peacock is based on the Souverän M1000 and comes with a medium nib. It will be available by June 2018 and has a retail price in Germany of € 3.450.- including the VAT. The Maki-e Peacock is limited to 111 pieces worldwide.

marlinspike Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Man, I feel like the purpose of that horrible silver with diamonds M1000 was just to make this one fly off the shelves. Looks pretty awesome, if only I had the $3k for a pen. Link to post Share on other sites

sketchstack Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Stunning. Surprised I've never seen peacock feathers on a fountain pen before. Nice motif. Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Barrieau Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Tastes differ. The design looks like a cheap Chinese pen to me. To better see my icon http://fpnlcb.shutterfly.com/picturesLooking for a black SJ Transitional Esterbrook Pen. (It's smaller than an sj) Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly G Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 While the pen doesn't look to me like a "cheap" pen, I don't find the Pelikan M model particularly well suited to Maki-e. There is too much distraction from all the trim. I prefer a more subtle canvas for an ornate Maki-e application. I guess it is just as well as at this point, I don't plan to spend that kind of money for a pen. But, each to their own; I doubt they will have any trouble selling them. May we live, not by our fears but by our hopes; not by our words but by our deeds; not by our disappointments but by our dreams. Link to post Share on other sites
1nkulus Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Not my cup of tea. I, unfortunately, do not find Maki-e enthralling. It is the same pen with an expensive embellishment, which is fine if the objective is to display it as a work of art. Another one is the Dragonfly. I have not yet warmed to the idea of using a pen as a canvas, perhaps a mental block.

Newjelan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 While I love Pelikans, I don’t like this at all, and my wallet is extremely grateful. Link to post Share on other sites
