I have a friend here in my local pen club that would be stalking you if he were in Auz! He has mentioned that particular pen on a regular basis, I have not seen it till now, now I know why! For those of us not in the know could you say what the other ones are please. I especially like the first one on the top row next to the Chicago! They all look beautiful though! Can't wait to see better shots of the Chicago!

Which one is the far left pen? I recently saw a a vintage Croxley that looks very similar and was smitten by it.

Congratulations JustDaveyB, that must leave only three to go Athens, Berlin, & SanFrancisco ?
It is very inspiring to see them massed like that. I like how you've alternated the gold and silver Pelikan logos on the caps.
If you get another one you could celebrate and go to one of those fancy nail studios and have each fingernail done up to look like each one of your pens.I'd send Mrs Bogon but she did not enjoy her last trip to one.

Yes the ones hardest to find. I haven't seen a San Francisco for sale since I started collecting the M620s.
Pure fluke there but they are out of chronological order as the New york is older that the others beside them (2 chicks vers 1 chick).
Thats funny - I could do that now as I own two other M600 pens - I could include my Green o'Green to make up the ten or maybe the classic black/green striated look would be better! I doubt if my wife would go for that as she still can't get past the pure cost of this collection of pens. I said thats nothing, I am going to collect Montblanc Writers Series pens next... After goggling MB writers series FP she next looked up the contact details for a solicitor friend of ours that handles family law and divorces...
Good luck with that solicitor ........
I was just looking at those three pen and some other Pelikans at nibs.com: I like the stories they have about the pens.
SanFrancisco has a nice type of tortoise shell appearance. A very attractive pen.
Athens looks like a puple or violet version of the Shanghai from the photos Could be some around this being an Olympics year which would probably help bump up the price.
Berlin seems a bit like the Madrid or Chicago with green instead of red or grey.

Did she happen on the Hemingway first?
Good luck with the San Francisco. I hear it's very hard to get.

Madrid it is then, it reminds me of old Conway Stewart's , beautiful collection, it sound like the San Fran one would be a stunning looker as well!

Wow, all of 'em are amazing! Very nice. Very nice, indeed.
Very pretty. This really makes me realize why people love to collect a full series of pens!
I need your wife's email address. I want to tell her to wait until AFTER you've purchased the writer's series. That way, when she does file for divorce she can leave with half the collection. :-)
How is your quest of the last three going ?
I'm looking forward to your group shot of all twelve someday soon.

That is just a stunning collection.Congratulations!
I have my grail pen (the M620 San Francisco) on the way to me at the moment - paid an absolute fortune for it but it is in mint condition. I can wait for a good price for the last two.
Wow, that's quick. Looking forward to the pictures, I don't believe I ever saw one.

Yes too quick as pen budget is now blown till October. But it was No1 on the list so as they say "come Hell or high water" I wasn't going to let it slip away. There is are some images of a San Francisco on nibs.com http://www.nibs.com/PelikanBerlinStckPage.htm#SF but I have come to know that these cities series pen are much better looking in real life.
I very much hope it is, based on that picture I would never buy it. So I'll wait for yours. In the meantime, the Grand Place remains my favourite M620.

Congratulations. That is wonderful.
Will you be celebrating with a nice bottle from your cellar when it arrives ?
That just leaves the Athens and Berlin now, doesn't it ?

The pen should be wonderful (it had better be), having had to grovel big time to my wife - well I do work on the theory that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than for approval...
I do plan to open a good bottle of wine this week as it is my wife's birthday - maybe a nice Tasmanian sparkling.
Athens is probably now my grail pen, with Berlin second and the Bexley Americana Sanibel Blue third. It is going to be interesting what direction my collecting will go after the M620 set. I did have thoughts about getting the Pelikan Black/Green Striated version in all the sizes, so would only need the M300, M800 and M1000 versions or collecting some of the rarer export version Pelicans or maybe I might finally look at vintage fountain pens. I am probably going to the Melbourne pen show this November so that maybe a kick off point for a new direction.
