    Default And then there were ten (Pelikan M620)

    My number one pen want arrived in the mail today taking my collection of Pelikan M620 city/places series pens to ten.

    The Pelikan M620 San Francisco has an amazing misty pattern of browns, black, silvers and greens. I can see why people who own them seem not to offer them for sale

    Wow! What a great collection! The San Francisco pen is stunning. I think you've done a better job of photographing it than most.

    Fantastic. Truly an inspiration.

    Wow, that's a really nice pen. And a very nice collection, too. How many are there in total? Or to put it in another way: how far are you away from the complete set?

    P. S.: The pictures are really nice, good job!

    and I thought it was going to be a while to complete your set. Sounds like you are very close to completing it. Congrats.

    JustDaveyB,

    Wowie that is impressive, the latest pen and seeing them massed together.

    The Chicago stands out being the only one with a plain cap that does not match the barrel.

    Much, much better picture than on Mottishaw's site. I can see why it was your number one. It rivals my favourite, the Grand Place.

    Cheers,
    Peter

    Lovely collection! I'd love a Stockholm and an Athens to go with my lowly solid blue M605.

    That's a typo, right? You meant to say lovely solid blue M605, didn't you?

    What is that one third from the right in the group shot? The white with pale colored stripes one?

    Not trying to make you feel any worse, but I have one of these, and it is the only one pen so far in my small collection that has a noticeable calming effect. When I look at it, I feel calm and peaceful.

    Perhaps the only predominantly colourful pen that consistently catches my eye.

    It would look great amongst my black and stainless silver pens.

    It's JustDaveyB's fault. I would never have seen it if it wasn't for his blog. A great collection of Pelikans.

    I think you are very hopeful finding one on Ebay, just few weeks ago, I saw one listed for sale and the price was very good. Good luck!!

    Congrats! Inspiring collection!
    It made me want to start collecting, instead of just buying what catches my fancy.

    Great pens. I think your latest is the prettiest yet. Well, maybe second to the brown one on the end to the right hand side.
