New Pelikan M670 Warm Grey.

@Bo Bo: excuse the temporary hijack -- you mentioned above a Parker Duofold Jr. and I think that was what I had as my very first fountain pen at boarding school at age 8!  (Or was it perhaps a Slimfold?  What was the difference?  I think I had the Junior).

 

Sorry: back to matters Pelikan...

According to…

https://parkerpens.net/ukduofold.html

 

…the differences between the UK Duofold ‘Slimfold’ and the ‘Junior’ are in their sizes, and the numbers on their nibs:

 

Model                  Length(mm)    Girth (mm)    Number on nib

Duofold Junior        135                   12                          10

Slimfold                   125                   11                            5

 

Unless one has both pens side-by-side, I reckon that the easiest way to work out which one one has is the number stamped on the nib.

 

Slàinte,

Of course, but I wander all over more than you by far....IMO with out little hijacks, this place would be short posted and boring.

Classic 200 Golden Lapis - Passion (pelikan-passion.com)

OK now stop! Now I have to have this one! SO pretty!

[carola]

I have to say, I do like the looks of this one. In the pictures the colour of the body looks pretty much like the M600 White Striped should have looked like according to the promotion pictures (a warm off-white like ivory instead of the cold, flat white which made me definitely NOT buy it). I also like the black trim and nib that make it look like a grown up Stormtrooper. 😊

 

I hope I will be able to see it in person some time soon. Until now, I have refrained from buying any white Pelikans, this one might be able to change my mind (if it looks like its promotion pictures, mind you).

[Bo Bo Olson]

This 200 is nice, and I too had worries about the white, section and cap, which as of yet is not a problem.

[carola]

I didn´t buy any of the white Pelikans simply because I don´t like their looks (almost made an exception for the M405 Silver White, but then went "Naaaah, I´ll pass" again). The cracking and discoloration reported by some people doesn´t help their cause, but my main objection really has to do with the combination of colours, lots of cold white and gold. Nope nope nope.

So... anybody got this? Supposedly it's come out by now (?)

 

No, apparently it hasn't yet 😑

[lamarax]

Soo... here are a couple of actual photos of the thing:

 

 

 

Also: a video from Appelboom

 

...quite interesting, me thinks 🤔

[Lam1]

Now, these photos make it much more interesting (thanks @lamarax ).

If only it were a M1000 …

Coming back to the comparison with the M100, the pen is like a stormtrooper dirty after the Battle of Endor.

Here mine bought on Saturday in Hannover during the TintenTurme event.

 

I noted that respect to my last acquisitions the EF nib writes a little bit thicker, maybe this is due to the ruthenium plating that add thickness to the iridium point.
