Pelikan M205 Duo Fountain Pen+ Highlighter

[PAC 1957]

I don't know if this pen has already been among the FPN topics.

I "discovered" it a few days ago in a pen shop in Rome and.. I bought one.

It's a nice idea to have two "tools" in one pen: a fountain pen and a highlighter. It comes with its 30 ml Pelikan yellow highlighter ink bottle. It's based on the entry level Pelikan Range and has a nice, smooth BB nib. The main plus of this pen is that You can both highlight and write comments on texts, something You can't do with standard highlighters. the nib is not too broad for writing.

 

Here is a photo of its "performance" on Moleskine paper.

 

 

Has anyone tried this Pelikan M205 DUO? I was told it came out in 2010, but ... I missed it at that time..

 

Maybe not a must have, nevertheless useful and a sort of "conversation piece", isn't it?

P.S: the black text is written with a OMAS 360 (pre 2007 piston filled model) filled with MB Mistery Black, my everyday pen and ink.
