This came in recently from my favorite dealer in Germany, some real life pictures: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0070.jpg Outer Box: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0078.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0082.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0083.jpg Cover of the inner box, there is a tray inside that slides out: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0084.jpg The complimentary 60ml bottle of Pelikan Royal blue with a reproduction label, the pen comes in this white PVC pen pouch: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0085.jpg The pouch and the booklet: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0086.jpg The PVC pouch, a really cheap feeling item, I am not sure why Pelikan decided to put something of such a pathetic quality inside this box, they could have simply omitted this: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0088.jpg The pen: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0087.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0090.jpg The clip hang tag: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0093.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0094.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0095.jpg I feel the Yellow ink view window gels nicely with the color scheme of the pen. http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0096.jpg The following pics try to show the Binde around the barrel: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0098.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0097.jpg The Piston seal: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0099.jpg The Cap logo: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0101.jpg GP Monotone nib: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0103.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0105.jpg http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0106.jpg Pelikan stamped above the clip: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0107.jpg A closeup of the Binde: http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t543/hari_317/M101NRed/DSC_0108.jpg Some thoughts about the pen: I like the pen, the way the red and the Binde and the Gold trim have come together. A plain red modern 101 would be wonderful to have. I have the 101N Brown tortoise, I like that one, I did not like the Lizard enough to buy one even though some attractive price incitements were there, this is again a good one, but I had to gather the funds to buy it nearly an year after release, but YMMV in these matters. Cheers! Hari
