I just recently purchased a used M1000 in green stripe with an ef nib. Now, I was expecting the usual excessive flow that these nibs are known for. This nib, however, is adjusted perfectly. Which means that it is too fine for me. If you are a true ef nib lover than this is your nib. Great flow, really smooth. Maybe even smoother than the Platinum ef nibs, my touchstone for nib awesomeness. So, too fine for me. I will trade just the nib for a fine, I will trade the entire pen for something of equal value (about $400), or I will sell it for $400. The pen is in like new condition. It doesn't even have the annoying ring that the cap will eventually put on the body from rubbing. An annoyance that I have found in most Pelikan pens. Come with all boxes and paperwork. I'll get some bad pics up later today. Just wanted to get the Saturday morning lookieloos.

Oh, as far as trades. Never have had much interest in Italian pens, but otherwise, I love Japanese pens, like German pens, even the right American (Edison) isn't out of the question. Prefer medium and fine nibs...depending on the maker. Thanks much.

Had the same issue with the same pen I purchased used - M1000 fine that I thought would write like a medium but wrote like a REAL fine. Lucked out and picked up a medium nib on eBay for a steal, and now she's a juicy medium/broad writer of shading awesomeness!

PM me some of the specific pens you might want and we'll see what unfolds...

Good luck with the sale/trade!

The sale/trade offer on this pen is on hold as the ef nib is being traded for a F nib. I still may sell/trade the pen based on what I think of the fine nib when I get it.

Okay, back up for sale. This time with a fine nib.

Btw your inbox is full, I wanted to follow up and let you know the last pen you inquired about, I actually have two complete nib units for it (both the same kind, but one could be sent off for a grind or made to be wetter, giving you two to switch between).

Now just offered for sale. Purchased too many pens on ebay this weekend. Need to get some cash back.

If I had the money I wouldn't have thought twice. That's a steal and am really surprised no one has snatched it up.

I'd love to, but I /just/ bought a Nakaya

Too bad it isn't the all black one; I already have the green stripe. Fantastic pen. I can't imagine a scenario where it wouldn't be one of the last pens I'd give up if I had to liquidate my collection.
