What's Your Most Recent Addition To The Flock?

[tacitus]

My recent addition is not a pen. It's a Pelikan anyway.

After receiving my first M800 two weeks ago (EF), I am now anxiously awaiting an OBB nib. That should transform my perfect daily writer at work into an extrovert journaling pen at night.

...will let you know then.

My most recent addition is not a pen but indeed is a great addition to the flock. It is the not oft seen large green Pelikan pen stand.

It joins two large white and a blue bird as well as several smaller rests.

This came yesterday -- from Russia with love -- or, at least, it arrived beautifully-packaged and in only six days from time of dispatch.

 

There has been one for sale on eBay recently and it is almost twice what I paid for this! I feel very fortunate. Nice, nice chap to deal with, too!

 

This pen will be inked within moments -- as soon as I finish posting this -- and I have swapped the nib with that from my 1950s 400 for its flexibility, for this new nib was rather firm.

Lovely pen

 

I have the Jade version and like it very much.

The latest 4 birds in my collection:

 

1) Pelikan 400 Black barrel with green ink window.

2) Pelikan 400NN Black barrel with green ink window

3) Bakelite Pelikan pen holder

4) Pelikan metal advertisement ( reproduction from original made in the 30´s) It´s big and will look great in the office

 

Edit note: No idea why the pictures are rotated

I have the 18ct Gold clad version. Lovely pen and very good nib but, as you say, not up to the standard of my 400s.

Mine is an early Pelikan M400 Green stripe I found at an antique shop for $20! ...Without cap. The cap raises the whole purchase price by a bit (I found one on ebay, now waiting for me at home), but all considered it was still a great deal on a pen that had sat unattainably high on my list, maybe even grail level. Pictures to follow!

I just added to my growing flock a Pelikan M800 blue striped with BB-Nib and a Pelikan P1 ruby red rooled Gold with an OBB...

 

And what shall I say... I'm really happy!!!

I have a P1 with and OB nib. Really nice nib, so I can imagine the OBB is even nicer.

Newest member of the flock: Pelikan 250 1992-1997 (only count the one that arrived, two more in mail ). Come with a monotone 14c B nib, which is very smooth. Got it from eBay at $62. It is a big sumgai, the nib itself could cost more than that.
