Pelikan M400

[Dave258]

Here is my newest addition. Pelikan M400 with a 14 kt extra fine nib. I got it yesterday all the way from Germany in 4 days! I flushed it a bit with some warm water an loaded it up with Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher. I'm not big into blue ink but I love this one!
I was a bit worried about the Extra Fine nib, but while it does feel a little scratchy on the paper, it lays down a nice wet line!

Beautiful. Congrats!

Now we're talking! Nice pen, keep in mind EF nibs can sometimes have a bit of "feedback" that is interpreted as scratchiness on some paper surfaces. Often the wetness of a good Pelikan really works well with a finer nib, laying down the perfect line.

Great pen, congratulations.

Nice pen, I really like the BBK ink as well.

 

[Vintage Razor]

Very nice! That ink will be one of the next purchases I make.

Nice, I really like that traditional look! And a Pelikan,too!

 

[Sullybob]

Great looking pen! I'm sure that it will serve you well for many years.

That is certainly a lovely pen. Congratulations and enjoy!

Beautiful pen! I feel Pelikans are a real value for the quality, and I love the classic look of the Souveran series. My every day go to pen is a blue stiped Souveran M800, fine nib, and I'm someone who can find some fines too scratchy. Although the M800 comes with 18k nib, my experience has been that they get smoother with regular use.

Enjoy!

I keep a Pelikan M400 with an OB nib on my desk at work for sigining papers - it is a real workhorse for me.

Very nice indeed
I'm liking these Pelikan pens more and more.

Green striated is one of my favorite pen looks of all time.

Thanks guys! I am waiting on a delivery from the Goulet's again today with some Pelikan ink to load her up with.
Edelstein Onyx, Edelstein Aventurine and Pelikan Royal Blue. Then she will be put back to use!

Mine too.

Or Tortoise!

Oooh, yes, the brown/gold/green combination in the torti has a real warmth to it! I also have two green striped M1000s that I find just a bit too big for me. Having a tendency to grip quite firmly I tend to find larger pens more comfortable. The M800 works well for me while, unfortunately, the M1000s tend to stay in the desk drawer.
