Hi,
Here are some pics of my new baby!
It is my 10th pen, and I thought it should be special. I was lucky to get one of grail pens, the Pelikan M800 Tortoise.
The nib a very smooth and true-to-size Fine. I really like it!!!

Here you go. I hope you'll like them:

The m800 tortoise is a great pen, I have one myself.

What is the other tortoise in your picture with the monotone gold nib - a 600?

Love the Tortoise. It's a splendid looking pen! Great pictures too.

Congratulations on your beautiful new toy! Wrote a very long letter with mine just yesterday, in fact long enough to empty 2/3 of the reservoir - though that's not as impressive as it sounds, the pen carrying a sharpened up yet still very wet OBB nib.

I should receive a parcel with Noodler's Golden Brown in it sometime these days. Should look great in it too.

Ahhh - I´ve got a medium-nib waiting under the christmas-tree this year.
Love the leather pen "case" Is it home-made?

Oh, that's a M400 :)

Congrats to yours! Wonderful pen!

The case is like this: http://www.jetpens.com/PlePle-Choco-Pencil-Case-Navy-Lining/pd/8408
But mine is an older version with the dotted interior.

The string was very weak and barely lasted for a week. I've replaced it with some real leather strings I had at home.
The material was pretty unkindly at first, but softened up quite much through the years and now I love it!!!

An other pic of the trio:

I have an Old-style M600 in black too, but it has some un-photogenic wear ;)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

ooh lah lah. One of my wish list pens, but most likely not going to get anytime soon. I have too many at the moment. Less than you but too many for me.
