    Let's see....
    Jazz Elegance (c/c pen)-M
    M150-F
    120 Merz and Krell -M
    140-F
    400NN -EF
    M200 Cognac -F
    M200 Blue Marbled old style -OB
    M200 Brown Marbled -M
    M200 Gold Marbled -B
    M400 White Tortoise -B

    I think that is all of them. Currently the 140, 400NN, all the M200's and the M400 sre inked.

    I have half a Pelikan. Maybe even less because I don't even know if it works yet. I ordered an old 100n and it's in the mail.

    More than I need and never as many as I want (and a couple more arriving tomorrow)

    All bar 2 or 3 are at least 50 years old, and many a lot older than that. I'd get rid of the newest one (a Celebry) but I really like the nib (hate everything else about it, especially the metal section). I favour the lower numbered pens - nothing above than a 400 - as with the exception of my very special MB149, I really don't get on with heavyweights.


    This has been a very timely post as it made me go and tend to the flock a little - only to discover a favourite of my more modern chicks, an MC120 (or M150 with a fantastic 1.0 nib) has just dumped a pretty much complete fill of Doyou into the piston mechanism. I know what I'm doing this evening...

    I have four: two M200s, one M205 and one M215. If I had my wits about me when I started to buy, not yet collect, fountain pens, I would have stuck to pens like the Pelikan.

    Our flock:

    M1005 Stresemann EF
    M800 Green M
    M805 Blue F
    M205 Olive M

    My wife got a M600 Violet M and my daughter (first of three to receive as graduation gift) a M600 Green M with a K600 Green in the nice two pen pouch.

    Rather more than I'm prepared to admit to. Of which I use about a dozen all the time.

    A few....

    A 120 given years ago as a gift, an M2x with TIPPED italic nib that writes beautifully, and lately an M600 with black and red stripes. I wouldn't mind adding a couple more, especially lower-end moderns with steel nibs, or vintage models.

    This is not counting all the Pelikanos and Juniors lying around.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!
