So how many Pelikans do you have?

[Nom de plume]

Just two Pelikan fountain pens for now and a bunch of nibs. The P200 has been serving as my daily writer recently.

[fqgouvea]

I have two, an older 400 with a stenographic nib and a newer M200 in black. My wife has two as well, an M200 and an M400 with an OB nib. We want more...

Do the pens you have not work?

Of course they work! But two pens aren't enough to cover all the ink choices and nib choices and the "hey, that looks nice" choices!

M200 Cafe Creme EF.....it's lonely, so......
An M101N Red Tortoise EF, M800 Burnt Orange EF and M200 Green Marbled are on their way as I write this! The GM should arrive either today or Monday (11/16)!!
Seems these "birds" like to multiply at an astounding rate!!
Guess they won't become EXTINCT anytime soon!!
EDIT: Green marbled has arrived! The M800 is now placed on back order until the next production run -- April 2016!!!
Recent arrivals: M200 Cognac F, M205 Amethyst F and M400 Souveran Black/Green EF.....
Always try to get the dibs.....on fountain pens with EF nibs!!

One. M400 in tortoise circa 1950's with a very flexy gold nib. Still trying to get the hang of using it since all my other pens are modern.

I have one. A 400nn. One reason I have just one is it's perfect.

That is a very good reason. The few that I have are each good enough to be anyone's only pen. Perfect.

All the Pelikans I've had I would have kept were I not a student and unable to afford to 'build' a collection.
So far I've had:
M400 Blue striated
M400 White Tortoise
400 green striated
400 black stripe
P1 in grey silvexa
400 brown tortoise
400 green striated
P1 black silvexa
Pelikan Pelikano (c. 1975)

Haven't got one, haven't even ever seen one. Probably never will.

[Leland]

I have 5 pelikans
K200 Black
M200 Black, Fine (from the mid to late 90's I think)
M605 Blue, Fine (also from late 90's I think)
M805 Blue , medium
M1000 Green, Fine, tuned by Mike Masuyama.

Next will probably me an M805 demonstrator or some older pelikans.

[Runnin_Ute]

Am up to four now. In order of acquisition:

120 Merz & Krell with EF
M205 in Toledo Red with M
M150 in Black with M
M205 in Black with F

In June of 2015 the above four were lost.

I have since acquired a M200 Blue Marbled derby style cap OB nib and a M200 Cognac F nib

[carlos.q]

Lost? That's awful!!!

Never say never...

[Empty_of_Clouds]

What do you think the chances are of me ever even seeing one here?

I really wouldn't know as everyone's path is different. Just don't close your mind to the possibility.

140 ef green striated
400NN om green striated
400NN ef green striated
M605 Marine Blue demonstrator (listed in classified)

Tried to move the 400NN om but now its going to nibsmith, as I think I'm finally able to make use of a thicker line.

Seriously lacking in tortoise, here :O)

0 as of now... I do hope to have some someday I need to be patient! I do love the green barrels of those pens tho

1 - M400 F Blue striated

I use it to sign all important life documents: wife's engagement ring check, first home, baby documents at hospital, etc, with the hopes of passing it down to my kids for their important life signatures

[Savager]

Being a newbie, I have zero. But my dream pen is the Pelikan M200 Cafe Creme. Maybe some day...
