Very nice. I like that marble bluish grey pattern.

Pelican Wall Street Limited Edition very Gordon Gecko, did you get the trouser braces too ?
It is a lovely pen. Ditto what KrazyIvan said. The little "plaque" on the barrel is a real eye-catcher too.
I hope it writes as good as it looks.
I'm sure you wife will forgive you as soon as she sees how good it is.

Am not certain I like the plaque but the price was good, it is mint, never inked with nib size sticker - a medium. I have two other M800 nibs that will probably live in it more often than not - Factory 1.5mm italic (really a stub as the edges are so smooth) and a 0.7mm CI by Richard Binder - now that it is a nib with some tooth...
I told her during our 6th Wedding anniversary dinner, after cooking her favourite dish and plying her with 21 year old Cabernet Sauvignon . She didn't seem to care as I had just produced her favourite dessert and a bottle of botrytis semillon - it is all in the timing...
"her favourite dessert" sounds interesting.
I think I need to work on timing my pen buying confessions. Straight after her hard day at the office rant is probably not the best moment.
Happy anniversary too. Mrs Bogon cooked a Kangaroo steak for our's last week.

I have learnt to tell my wife before the parcel arrives but after I have bought it - normally I have 7-10 working days wait for her to settle down before the parcel arrives - In the past I have waited till I had the pen before telling her, an almost tragic incident with a Pelican M600 Green o'Green taught me not tell her prices paid when she has the said pen in her hand...
Sounds very good, that should have helped with your timing. Penfolds is one of my favorite wine growers. Thankfully one of the local liquor and wine store chains carries quite a few Australian brands. Some years ago I asked about a Penfolds Grange and I could have had it special ordered. Would probably have had to give up a Writers' Edition for a case.
I think I settled for a Bin 128 Shiraz.
Cheers,
Peter

I have only had one Grange, the 1986, I drank it when I turned 40 and it turned 21. An amazing wine. My local wine merchant still has a couple of bottles of it, only $1000 for 750ml bottle. I bought mine way back in 1991 for $87 - a lot of money in those days.
The money I used to spend on wine now is directed towards fountain pens.

They are special but probably not value for money. If I had a $1000 to spend on wine these days I would probably buy Sparkling (French or Australian) and Pinot Noirs (Australian or Kiwi), not made to age for decades Cabernet Sauvignon - I suppose it is easy for me to say as "I have been there drunk that" as it were.

There some really good kiwi pinots but not from any of the bigger wineries so they probably never get exported outside NZ much less around the world, of the Australian pinots I am a fan of the ones made in Tasmania. I don't mind NZ Sauvignon Blanc but they are really a wine to have with food, I enjoy a good well-made riesling more.
Keeping the good ones to themselves, hey? And right they are. And pinots are very particular about the climate they're grown in, I hear.
Well, most of the wine I drink I have with my dinner, and on top of that I really like wines with their own explicit flavour, so there's were the Sauvignon Blanc comes in. Most of the Rieslings I know are fairly mild-flavoured. Except for some really good french ones, to go with the choucroute.
(We really should not be discussing this in the Pelikan forum, should we? But it's great fun.)

I started the topic so anything goes, but back to the subject at hand. The pen arrived today. Some images of it and my other M800, the Blue o' Blue

Looks great, they make a nice pair. Is it just perspective or is the Wall Street slightly longer?
By the way, the factory italic nib you mentioned in post #5, do you have that on a pen or as a separate nib unit? I've been looking for one, because I'd love to put one on one of my 800's, but I have not found a source yet.
Cheers,
Peter
