Why did Pelikan take away the White tortoise in the U.S?

The title explains it.....

Why would Pelikan deprive us of such beautiful pen here in the U.S? Does anyone have any idea as to their motives?

Where'd you see this at?
I think they're still available from John at Nibs.com

[fountainpenkid]

yes, but he charges a lot for them, and most dealers have stopped dealing them.

I think it was actually a limited production pen. There's a new M600 coming out in a couple of weeks in the white tortoise color and it will be a limited production as well. You can read everything we know about it in this post.

I have to say, that it's a gorgeous pen. Hands down. Gorgeous. But hefty pricetag. Don't know if i can stomach it.

I'm still relatively new, but this is the pen people refer to as "white honey", right? Or, is that a different one? I get confused.

I'm pretty sure the white tortoise M600 is the same price as the standard M600. It's a bit spendy, but a heck of a pen! I think I have seen some people call it the white honey, but the white tortoise is more accurate.

Thanks Dan! =)
