No mention of the brown tortoise m415? Wasn't aware that there was an m200... Does it have a gold plated or 14k nib?

Nib is 14k. However, given how easy Pelikan nibs are to swap that really doesn't tell you anything!

Very true. I have an m415 and it looks similar to your m200. It's good to know!
Nope, cap is different on mine. None of that heavy gold attached to the clip. Some photos to help:

Wouldn't that pen be a m250 not an m200?
Could be, it was sold to me as an M200, if it isn't I'd be happy to get a confident ID!

I think Will is right. When I first started to try and ID my pen I vaguely remember running across m250's in brown tortoise..

Lovely photos. I am intrigued that picking up the reissued M101N red and brown tortoise pens and comparing with the originals in Rick's photos suggests that Pelikan did an excellent job with the newer pens. Perhaps the tactile feel may be a little different but as best as I can judge the new pens are damn fine and certainly not shabby reissues.
I would love to see the newer red resin next to the older version to see how they compare. Is the reissue a brighter hue? Is it an aging property?
Such fun can be had with pens.
