Pardon? You have what looks to me like a blue marble, and called it "Vibrant Green"???

 

:lticaptd: Oops! A senile moment! :P

 

That's what happens when you're trying to write while your dog is pulling on your sleeve to go play with him :D .

 

It's Vibrant Blue, of course!

Stipula Saffron in the black M300, when I went to use it last night and saw it was empty. Very strange as I clearly remember filling it within the last month or so. Perhaps I'm remembering seeing myself fill it in the future. :yikes:

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Around 2003, I bought an M620 "Berlin" fountain pen with a Broad nib, originally as a gift to a friend. As it turned out, the recipient preferred roller balls over fountain pens, and so I got them a nice roller instead. I kept the pen, but just never inked it. Because I like sets, I found a K620 "Berlin" ballpoint at a good price last year, and put it on the shelf with the Berlin fountain pen.

 

I attended the Boston Pelikan Hub last Friday, and brought the pen with me, with the intent to put ink in it at the event. Edelstein Jade was my favorite green in the Edelstein sampling station, so I inked it up, and they look great together! I may replace the B nib with an OB that I have sitting around, but it feels good to put another Pelikan into service. The little notebook under the pens was made by one of the other attendees, and everyone attending received one.

I really like that pen, I mean I REALLY like that pen!

 

 

It looks even better when photographed in better light than the horrible fluorescents in my office!

 

If you can find one at a good price, you won't regret owning and using it. The pattern of light green plastic, with dark green flecks, black flecks, and pearlized flecks is different for each pen.

I have seen better pics (not to say that yours is a bad pic) but for me, that pen (and several other of the cities series) has everything going for it. For me the 6XX varieties are the Goldilocks zone of Pelikans, though I have to admit that M700 and the ancient 100's and 101's also get my blood pumpin'.

 

This pen is on my lust list, as are a 101 grey binde and a couple 'complete the set' Parkers.

The Cities series has some true gems, and a few (to my taste) clunkers. Sadly, I don't have the budget to get all the varieties that I want, so I have to make do with the single pattern that is my favorite. I do wish that they'd made pencils to match the fountain pens and ballpoints (and rollerballs, later in the series). I'd buy a Berlin pencil in a heartbeat.

 

I haven't tried a 100 or 101, and I really should. I'd love anything from the 700's: Toledo 700/710, silver cap 730, Jubilee 750 or 760.

Starting back to work tonight and the M150 with Petrol needed a refill.

Very lovely Khan! Makes me want to slip over to the 'bay and buy another one :D but it'd probably be cheaper if I just walk down the hall and get one out of the nest box...
