Yes, looks good, but I am in UK, not shipping where I am. Also, I would like to sell some of my pens, before I will start hunting one down. Wednesday i will add some of my pens for sale, have a day off and can sort out photos and listing.

Sorry I should have checked out where in the world you are. I usually do but sadly I missed it this time.
I have in my Amazon saved for later items a black & green Pelikan M800 for £362 as an EU import that includes import fees deposit. You would not have to pay that deposit as you're tax free in Jersey. (Lucky you!!) It's not what you might call a great price but compared with many it's a decent price and for you at 20% less it's about as good as you will get. In fact, if I could have got it for 20% less it might not have been saved for later.
Maybe check Amazon and ebay regularly until you find one that suits you. Search for worldwide items. Also check Pure Pens & Cult Pens for reduced prices on offer at certain times of the year. The Writing Desk sometimes sells used pens. Good luck.

If bought in the US and then shipped to Jersey/UK, would it be cheaper? I'd be willing to help (so long as you'd reimburse me) .

M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!

I don't know anything about the rules of importing for The Channel Islands, but I know they are tax free so that may be helpful. For the UK you would need to add on an arm and a leg to get anything from the US that was worth that amount. It's a kind offer though. Thank you.

I will have to pay 5% of excess £60.00 declared value. I did not pay any tax when I bought pens from Karas Pen Co., maybe because the declared value went under the radar?!? I don't know.
Thank you very much everybody for their input, I will need to sort out some sales before thinking to buy a nice Pelikan M800 (green!) (in a range of £250?), as I do not want to spend any money from current account (bills, food, insurance...). I will sort out today and tomorrow what can be part away.
As far for the nib size, I think I would like a medium to fine...what are the opinions here? Also I would prefer in green, but the Stresemann looks so cool!
@ LLoyd: I am a serious family man, any help will be sort out very fast (PayPal?).
@ Chrissy: I have seen some Pelikans M800 on eBay less than £300, Japan import.
