New M600

[musicman1951]

My new Pelikan (blue with stripes) M600 M arrived today.

After a few water flushes I loaded it with one of my new ink samples: Diamine Asa blue. The pen fits nicely between my M800 OB and my Sailor with a F nib. The Sailor has a bit too much feedback for my taste, but writes well.

This M600 writes like butter. After only one sitting I think I prefer it capped.

Money well spent.

Now all I need is a good flex nib and my collection is set (he said with tongue in cheek and a great deal of wishful thinking).

Congrats on the new acquisition! The newer M600 is a good size (I have a couple of the older smaller sized ones), Pelikan hit a home run when they started that model.

This M600 writes like butter. After only one sitting I think I prefer it capped.

Tough to write with 'em capped though...

Posted?

The new blue M600 with a green M800 for size contrast.


I tried to wipe that Asa blue ink from the nib, but alas . . .

Nice pick up! Great photos, I appreciated the comparison between the two sizes.

Yes, of course, posted. My bad.

The 800 does not balance for me posted.

Very nice- I hope that you enjoy that one for years to come. I was lucky enough to pick up an M605 a couple of years back as a special edition for a German Department store- it is in mid-blue and has silver hardware...... love the 600 series pens!

Great looking pen. Congrats on the purchase.

Gorgeous!

I think you made a good choice with the M nib.

It is amazing how nice a m200 can look but compared to a m400/600/800/1000 it is so plebeian.

Very shiny... So shiny... Wants the shiny...
