My number one pen want arrived in the mail today taking my collection of Pelikan M620 city/places series pens to ten.

The Pelikan M620 San Francisco has an amazing misty pattern of browns, black, silvers and greens. I can see why people who own them seem not to offer them for sale

Wow! What a great collection! The San Francisco pen is stunning. I think you've done a better job of photographing it than most.

Wow, that's a really nice pen. And a very nice collection, too. How many are there in total? Or to put it in another way: how far are you away from the complete set?

P. S.: The pictures are really nice, good job!

Two to go - Berlin which is a marbled green colour and Anthens which is blue, yellow and grey.

and I thought it was going to be a while to complete your set. Sounds like you are very close to completing it. Congrats.

JustDaveyB,

Wowie that is impressive, the latest pen and seeing them massed together.

The Chicago stands out being the only one with a plain cap that does not match the barrel.

Thanks for pointing me to the thread. The SF is beautiful. Which one is your favorite?

Much, much better picture than on Mottishaw's site. I can see why it was your number one. It rivals my favourite, the Grand Place.

Cheers,
Peter

Lovely collection! I'd love a Stockholm and an Athens to go with my lowly solid blue M605.

That's a typo, right? You meant to say lovely solid blue M605, didn't you? :)

What is that one third from the right in the group shot? The white with pale colored stripes one?

The one I missed out on.

Yes I'm still bitter. :D

Congrats! Inspiring collection!
It made me want to start collecting, instead of just buying what catches my fancy.

Not trying to make you feel any worse, but I have one of these, and it is the only one pen so far in my small collection that has a noticeable calming effect. When I look at it, I feel calm and peaceful. :)

Great pens. I think your latest is the prettiest yet. Well, maybe second to the brown one on the end to the right hand side.

That SF model is gorgeous! I can't recall having seen one for sale, so you did very well.

I have the Berlin, and it's amazing, too, in a different way. I once had the Shanghai, but the colors seemed too gaudy and just didn't speak to me. (Obviously, I'm not collecting the whole series!)

Perhaps the only predominantly colourful pen that consistently catches my eye.

It would look great amongst my black and stainless silver pens.;)

It's JustDaveyB's fault. I would never have seen it if it wasn't for his blog. A great collection of Pelikans.

I think you are very hopeful finding one on Ebay, just few weeks ago, I saw one listed for sale and the price was very good. Good luck!! :)

Yes it was the tie for the cheapest of all my M620s - People seem not to prize it. I agree that it is a very soothing pen colour.

The search will continue.

I really like the Chicago one as well. From around the web they seem to be the least desired.
