M250 vs M200

[FredRydr]

Is the only difference between an old-style M250 and M200 with the "derby" on their caps, just a 14k nib instead of plated steel?

I believe there is also a difference with the cap rings.

My black 250 has a 14 K nib, my other 200's from that era '85-97 (no W.Germany so '91-97), have color so are harder to compare....Mine is NOS, I might not have gotten it had it not been; but even so the price was comparable to LE 200's.

In she discovered the pen on Ebay small local sales.....Wives have a certain voice they use to get men to do things..........so I got that pen, when it was not on my list.
Seeing it is NOS she believes it's an investment pen....what do you Mean...INK that pen!!!:stop:
OK, I'm easy to get along with. I have a number of regular flex M nibs...so have no need to ink it.

I really like the old style M250 with it's "dome" cap end.

Especially the gray marble or tortoise model with a good 14ct nib.

They have also become expensive now.

The link Christof gave us to Applebloom, allowed me to find out I had a 481 ('83-85) instead of some weird hidden marked under a cap Pelikan 200. The pre-200.

Having no real idea of one, had never chased one, so lucked out again at a live auction. I had 'seen' one before but due to lack of one, never remembered which one I'd seen on the coms. Out of sight, out of mind.

I have a Pelikan 2oo and recently I bought a 250 with this Old 14Kct. nib both pens are similar to me and they are great pens.
