Hello,
I’ve got a EF nib for Pelikan M800 for sale. Price is 130EUR and includes worldwide priority shipping with tracking and Paypal fees. Only inked a few times. Great writer.

Writing test here:

The test is lines in all directions (up-down, down-up, left-right, right-left). 5 lines per direction, 15 seconds of pause between EACH line, to check if the nib hard starts or skips. I also like to check the nib by doing sequential dots - if a nib writes 10 dots in a row, that’s also a good indicator it’s well tuned. The nib must be assembled and have unsaturated feed (I screwed completely clean and dry nib to a body, then started writing with it). I made the test on a super smooth, coated rhodia 90gsm paper with a pretty dry Montblanc ink. Also, I do the test without any pressure whatsoever, using only the weight of the pen. There were no issues with the nib, it's a greatly tuned nib. Line thickness is about 0.35 mm.
