This pen had been on my list for a while so when Fountain Pen Hospital put it on super sale I really had no choice.
One thing that is not very clear in the pictures is that this is a darker blue, more like a royal blue, than the pictures show. The comparison picture of the 3 blue Pelikans comes the closest to what I see when the pen is not backlit or on a while background. From 6 feet away you cannot tell that it is transparent unless it had backlighting. I really, REALLY like the blue and silver combination. The rhodium plated nib perfectly matches the palladium coated trim and makes this one of my very favorites.
