Any thoughts on the new M815? It reminds me of the material from the Ductus and looks like it will be pretty heavy due to the brass/plastic barrel.

Can see the appeal, will probably be popular with businesspeople.
Looks like an inferior version of Stresemann to me.
Because I find this design incredibly ugly; I’m talking about the sharp cut off between the barrel and the ink window. Not only that, the ink window is tiny compared to the entire barrel of a standard Pelikan striped version. I love Pelikans the most, but they do tiny ink window design on many otherwise beautiful models, which is simply a deal breaker to me.
I quite like the look of it. Shame it's priced about 25x more than I'd pay for it
Yup, Pelikan pushing into those sweet sweet Montblanc prices.
right now... I will stick to my stressman 805. I like the 815 but the price is quite a deal breaker... esp since it looks so close to the stressman cept for the weight and ink window.
I don't think it has a brass barrel. I read somewhere the metal stripes are in the binde not the barrel.
There seems to be competing descriptions. We will have to wait for the weight.

I saw them listed at around 750EUR, which is pretty much the same as, for example, the new Little Prince limited edition Le Grande. 550 isn’t that bad, I guess, but I still prefer Stresemann looks over this one.
