My first.....M800 green stripe with a F nib.....
As of current count, I have 13!! The M600s are my favorites and daily users, especially Green o'Green, white tortoise and Picadilly circus:
M600 red stripes
M600 white tortoise (2012)
M101N brown tortoise (2011)

Pelikan m600 Turquoise-white SE (2018)
Pelikan m620 New York
Pelikan m200 classic brown
400 vintage
Kind of lost count. I have managed to lay hands on a few bust up 400s bought for not very much that are waiting for a fix, and found a Pelikan cartridge filler at a sale recently, but I'm really proud of these (relatively) recently acquired beauties:
Not bad for someone who says "I don't collect m200s", eh? :-)
Nine, 4 M2xx, 2 M4xx, 1 605, 1 M300, 1 M320 red.
Zero, but I intend to change that next year...
And my little store of 200/205 demonstrators has just increased by one, the neon yellow highlighter with BB nib.
They don't make BBs any more!
Well, Pelikans....I have quite a few, but don't now exactly how many. Some pics:

So, I finally received the 24-pen Pelikan hard case and it is very neat (if I may say so). Instead of the customary black, yellow and gold color scheme (like in the 10-pen Pelikan hard case I already had) this is black, light grey and silver (which I actually prefer). Great size for vintage Pelikans.
Exterior of the case, feels like really sturdy cardboard wrapped in textured faux leather. Could be something else, plastic maybe? Measurements are 300 mm by 257 mm (with the hinges and locking mechanism) by 27mm.
Full interior. The inserts are velvet stippled plastic, the top is padded and covered in silky material. The grooves or slots are suprisingly not too wide but at least they fit all of the vintage Pelikans I have comfortably. Length of the slots is 138mm so they will only fit pens of up to the M700 series size. Maybe this was built before the advent of the M800 etc.? Not a problem for me though.
One more shot of the pens in the trays.
Very happy overall and if I some day find my flock growing with pens of the M800 and bigger size I will find them a proper home. Maybe that rather expensive 24-pen collector's box... I do like how it looks and if I am buying pens of that price range that box should not be that much of a reach anyhow.
Oh, I am missing one green 100N from those pics... it is still on the other side of the pond with my notebook.
I have only two Pelikans. The first is a blue and black M215 I bought in 2005, just after it came out. The second is a blue M605 I bought later from Oscar Braun Pens. It was on sale for $109, which I couldn't pass up. Since I got the M215, my first fountain pen, I have seldom written with anything else. It really is that good. I have not even had another pen inked for the past 10 years.
