My Green Stripped M800 with a medium nib just arrived - two days from Italy to the midwest. Not bad!

Can't wait to get home and ink it!

[RJRM]

M1000, green. My first Pelikan! What a nib!

Congratulations!

Something tells me it will not be the last .

[kapilapshankar]

It's a M600 White Tortoise with B nib.

 

They say happiness is as easy as stumbling into it.

 

I think happiness is stumbling into a M600 White Tortoise when you are least expecting to see it.

 

Cheers.

Congrats for the acquisition! Where did you purchase it if you dont mind me asking?

[kapilapshankar]

I got it from an acquaintance in a local pen meeting.

 

I wasn't expecting to see this pen come up for sale. He casually mentioned that the pen was for sale. I scooped it up before anyone else realized what was on offer

I would love to see a writing sample! I have the same pen, but with a really scratchy FINE nib that I really do not enjoy, so I would be happy to see what the broad nib can do!

[kapilapshankar]

Dear HalloweenHJB - will post the writing samples in a couple of days. Still haven't inked it.

 

Dear Mehandiratta - Your best bet for this pen is eBay. It comes at a premium given that it is sold out already. I too paid a significant premium over the original retail price for this pen. Can't do much there.

 

Cheers.

I heard some rumour going around like " this time a bigger White tortoise has been taken"

Congratulations

Great photos!

[gordonhooker]

Bugger - an M1000 green striated with a medium nib came up at the right/wrong time and couldn't help myself - I swore to myself no more but alas I now have to go back and re-swear....

Thank you DrCodfish

Congratulations! I know the feeling

My latest Pelikan just arrived today. I won it off ebay about a week ago. It's an M200 old style, green demonstrator with a steel M nib. What makes it extra fun, is that it's the very pen that is shown in the last four photos on Dominic Rothemel's excellent Pelikan site.

The seller told me after I'd won, that several people had emailed Dominic Rothemel to tell him that an ebay seller had used Dominic's photos in an auction. The photos were actually the seller's photos that Dominic was using. You can imagine how thrilled I was to find out it wasn't a scam, but that I'd won that exact pen.

I've been slacking. Better late than never! From the Christof Collection I give you from top to bottom:

 

1950's 100n with a most beautiful yellow/gray binde and EF nib

1950's 100n with a green binde, fluted clip and single cap band and F nib

1936 Pre-war 100 in Hard Rubber (light oxidation) with 4 baby chicks and a very attractive green bind with a F nib

 

The yellow/gray is my most recent. My pictures don't do any of them justice. These are quick shots from my iPhone. I love my birds. These nibs are superior writers with flex.

[sargetalon]

Bad cell phone pic because I got home late and lost the light but was happy to find the M205 transparent blue awaiting me. Depicted here with all of other post-1997 M2xx demonstrators released over the past 19 years.

 

 

M200: Clear, Clear (2012), Green, Red, Blue, Anthracite, Amber, Cognac (2014),

M205: Clear (2005), Light Blue (2009), Light Blue (2016), Neon Yellow (2010), Neon Green (2013), Amethyst (2015)

M250: Clear, Amber

Ohhh, that is truly lovely! Very nice.

[grainweevil]

Ah, Sarge, there's a pretty line up.

 

My M205 transparent blue just showed up - Parcel Farce's tracking status updates, as usual, were hopeless, and thus had resigned myself to waiting until next week. So huzzah! Just need to wrestle it back off my green friend here...

 

 

Incidentally, big thumbs up to Fritz Schimpf; my first order with them, and they were excellent. Thank you, Sebastian!
