koutsos1965 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi, do you know something about Pelikan Souveran 800 totrtoise red special edition? Link to post Share on other sites
Bo Bo Olson Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Nothing.Is that really a reddish tortoise, or are you talking about a red striped 800?I do know they had red stripped 400, perhaps a 600. German vintage '50-70 semi-flex stubs and those in oblique give the real thing in On Demand line variation. Modern Oblique is a waste of money for a shadow of line variation. Being too lazy to Hunt for affordable vintage oblique pens, lets you 'hunt' for line variation instead of having it. www.nibs.com/blog/nibster-writes/nibs-germany & https://www.peter-bo...cts/nib-systems, The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons. Link to post Share on other sites
koutsos1965 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 I am talking for a new special edition pen, exactly as I describe it and according to the information I have ... I hope to have a photo soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Intensity Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 If it’s very new and not yet released, still covered by an NDA, people can’t discuss it here by the rules. “I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.” Link to post Share on other sites
koutsos1965 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Then my post was wrong and I apologize for my impatience ... Link to post Share on other sites
pennonia Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I remember reading somewhere that Pelikan said there won't be a special edition M800 this year...but TBH it might've been just a random comment somewhere and not even something official If they do release one I'm really curios now that I've seen this thread's title https://www.pennonia.eu Link to post Share on other sites
Frank_70 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 According to the Nibsmith Pelikan will be coming out with a 600 series in Red Tortoiseshell. Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed they are; mine is pre-ordered from Cult Pens. I'd love to see it in the M800 size too. Glenn. Link to post Share on other sites
TitoThePencilPimp Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 A member here penenabled me to pre-order the red tortoise. I as done buying fountain pens 😂😂. I jumped on the Black Friday sale. and got a cursive italic grind on it for about $340? Hope its great. This will be my first cursive italic nib. I own italics (factory), but these are more like stubs. Link to post Share on other sites
Eccles Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Sounds lovely... I'm a great fan of stubs and italics too. I recently bought an M805 blue stripe from a member who had had the the factory M nib ground to stub by the Pelikan dealer. Very nice. Script with these nibs has so much more character. Glenn.
