Beautiful pen, smooth writer. Just as you’d expect from a Pelikan. I have several m200s and m400s, most of them Medium nibs, so I got this pen with a Fine nib, and I think it’s absolutely perfect. Still wet, but fine enough that I can write small without a problem.

One thing to note, the material on the body seems like it may be prone to staining. Got some blue ink on the barrel while filling the pen (Troublemaker Inks Abalone) and it didn’t wash off simply with water, as it would with most other pens. I had to wash it with Dawn and even then there is still a small blue stain.

So please note if you do get this pen, be mindful as you fill it, as to avoid the hassle of stain removal.

Nice writer. Fast shipping.

This is a stunning looking writing instrument; classic Pelikan lines, with a bright, milky-white cap, section, & piston turning knob. The whole, has a sleek elegant finish, perfectly accented with silvered clip, cap ferrule, & rings along the body of the pen. I really cannot get over those stripes on the barrel - they're exquisite !! The entire nib is plated in Rhodium over the 14K (EF) gold, & it writes very smoothly, with just a hint of feedback (which is nice).
It feels solid in the hand, is well balanced when posted (for me); I imagine you may be able to write with same, unposted; not the largest of pens - but it is true what they say - small is beautiful.
The Pelikan with single chick, as ever, present - the sand-blasted surround of that emblem, so well done; to my mind, one of Pelikan's seminal aesthetic achievements. Of course, the Cellulose Acetate body & cap make this incredibly lightweight, & with just over half a turn of the cap, it separates nicely from the barrel. The nib itself, not overly ornate, but consistent with the higher end Pelikan (Souveran) range.
In truth, I cannot fault this latest issue - as with all from this fine pen manufacturer, quality is indeed the watchword.
