What's Your Most Recent Addition To The Flock? 2016

[BayesianPrior]

Only four months until I get my hands on a M800 Blue o' Blue with IB nib...

[Croma]

Hello:

It arrived last week.

Pelikan 100 War Time with CN nib.

Regards.

The shape of the section shows that at least the barrel is older than wartime. Seems rather to be from 1930...

@jmccarty3 -- Agree with the others. That is one gorgeous pen. And I don't even LIKE orange.

BillH's description of "marmalade" nailed it.

Now you've got me putting another pen on the WANT list. I can't afford one of the Anthracite Stresemann M405s and you're dangling *another* bird in front of me? Totally unfair....

A very good looking (and good shape too) Pelikan Ibis, with an Ibis nib. Beatiful.

Ibises are lovely indeed!

 

My humble new daily writer. I still find 100s more aesthetically pleasing but prefer using pens made of plastic over celluloids.

 

There is also another reason I love Pelikans for: making the most of the available space inside: 1.75 ml of the ink capacity (100N in this case) and the pens opened are less than 5mm shorter than when capped.

 

Also, in my opinion, Germans perfected soft steel nib production.

Recent addition: Chronoswiss Styloscope #37/999. Brand new in box w/ all papers, etc. Perfect addition to my collection of Pelikan green demonstrators.

Oooooh that is beautiful! I am not jealous at all...

 

Only green with envy.

Oh, that's pretty! Nice addition indeed.

 

Did you see sargetalon's article about them?

[Fuzzy_Bear]

It's gorgeous. Though in not a big fan of the looks, it seems to be a wild look to me.

 

 

Just received a luminous little orange M320 with a medium nib, just the thing for trying out some of my new orange inks. It's a tiny thing--I'd never actually laid hands on one.

I did, indeed it inspired me to finally seek out and buy one. Luckily the LA pen show was just around the corner and I promptly found one!

 

The added heft from the sterling clip and furniture makes this pen feel satisfyingly solid. Just slightly moreso than the M800.

Just ordered my first Pelikan.....a 1950's 140 with a medium nib.

 

Any advice on what to expect writing experience wise?

It's already spring of 2017!
