Christof, what a great nib on that Pelikan! Is the turning knob a different color or simply faded? Thanks for showing. DAVID

THAT ... is a great picture! Is this an actual photo or is the pic on the lap top screen photo shopped? Any way this is one of those pictures worth more words than pixels.

Yes, I posted a couple of pics of this pen not so long ago. Then it was inked with Diamine Eau de Nil. It loves the iron gall ink even more!

Thanks. My m200 is always inked and in rotation since I first got it some 8 years ago.

I gather you had the music nib ground to a cursive italic. Can you tell us who did the grind? I understand that the three tines present an extra challenge.

I like that a lot, much as I love the impact of broader stubs they're not always practical for everyday writing in terms of fitting on a page/postcard.

After a recent stub treatment by Pendleton Brown this pen/ink combo has become my favorite writing instrument!
