Basically What Tiffany said.Originally Posted by tiffanyhenschel
I own M800 nibs in 0.6mm stub, 0.6mm CI , 0.7mm CI (all Binder Grinds), Fine x 2, Medium x 2, Oblique Broad and Italic Broad so another nib was not really needed
If I got a nib it would have to been a custom ground one so instead of spending US$460 plus freight it would have been around US$660 - freight to Australia is US$50 so it all adds up...
Woo Hoo Pelikan M800 Tortoiseshell Brown has shipped from Mr Binder. Cleaned and waiting is my 0.7mm Ci also by Mr Binder. First ink is a choice between Montblanc Collodi Brown, Noodler's Beaver or Waterman Havana Brown.
I've put R&K Salix in mine. Really nice.
I've just changed my mind and have replaced it with Montblanc Midnight Blue. (Obviously after afollowing the proper procedure for iron-gall replacement/exchange.)
THIS is a very nice PIP - Pen-Ink-Partnership!

Now you can win one! Dare I say this is the best FPGeeks Giveaway yet!
I have entered the giveaway - I would like two M800 BTs
TWO of the same pen!? That would be something for sure.
Just two !
JustDaveyB could do with a few to help balance out all the M600s in the collection.

Yes...but two of the same pen? Doesn't that sound a little silly especially with a pen of this price?Just two !

Silliness is relative.
I could imagine some people who really like a pen getting a backup or one for their spouse.

I have several doubles in my collection, admittedly with different nibs but I see no difference here.
Finally got mine in the mail today. Absolutely beautiful. The nib is Bold Italic.
I've now got R&K Scabiosa in mine and it's even better!

Actually, I changed my mind and have now filled it with Montblanc Midnight Blue, which is what I'd planned right from the start. Absolutely spot-on!

Mine arrived today, inked it up with Montblanc Carlo Collodi Brown
My two Brown Torties (M415 & M800)
The 400 seems much browner...
"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
It certainly is browner. I like that they are different.
