Pelikan Fine-Writing Pelikan 808804 Classic M200 Piston Fountain Pen Brown Marbled Nib F in Folding Box

This series of fountain pen is very highly regarded by literally everyone that has used/owned it. I agree with them. To me, the high points are the small EDC appropriate overall size, the piston fill system resulting in a large ink supply and the famous glassy smooth nib. Additional features I appreciate are the very adequate window in the barrel to view the ink supply and the overall appeal of the design, fit, finish, etc. Sure, I would prefer a gold nib instead of steel...but for the very reasonable cost by ordering from the UK I’ll gladly take the steel nib as it makes no difference to the writing experience. My one issue is with the packing. It arrived in a well crushed light cardboard sleeve type box inside a thin tag board mailing envelope. No padding of any kind. Very surprised the pen made it through unscathed. So it’s a five star pen handled in a one star manner. I haven’t had a German medium nib pen in a long while...really looking forward to it.

Even though this is Pelikan's budget pen, it's perfectly put together and all the finishes are beautiful, especially the brown marble resin. I'm a left-handed overwriter with average sized man hands, and the size of the pen is good for me when posted. I hold the barrel slightly above the screw threads because I like the extra reach to write loopy. The medium nib has pretty generous ink flow and it writes effortlessly with very little pressure. With a bit more pressure the nib gives some feedback, but I don't do that.The pen arrived with very little packaging, in an unglamorous box, and I really liked that. I would rather pay for craftsmanship than packaging.

I already have a Pelikan M200 in blue marbled with a F nib that I bought 20 years ago. It has been my favorite pen and still writes well. Lately I wanted another like it just for fun. So I got the brown marbled with EF nib and it writes really well. The nib is smooth, but because it is an EF it gives some feedback from the texture of the particular paper that I am writing on. I like writing in Strathmore Mixed Media sketchbooks which have a kind of vellum texture and the feedback is fine.The price of $109 from this seller was also a motivating factor. It is much less than from other sellers; and so I bought an extra nib either as a spare or to try in another pen.The size and balance suit me very well; and, of course, I am pleased with the brown marble look.

The Pelikan fine M200 is very nice writer. I use it with Noodlers Golden Brown. This pen might be to small if your hands are on the large side l-XL. I wear a large size glove and I wouldn’t want this FP any smaller. I also use this pen for sketching. It is a light weight FP.

I own two of this series myself (a M200 and M205) and just bought my wife this one, the M200 Brown Marbled in a medium nib. It is the perfect light weight in the hand to write almost endlessly without fatigue but still feels solid and high quality. Pelikan nibs always write beautifully and precisely, obviously when paired with 4001 and Edelstein series inks, and also others like KWZ which I paired this one for her with KWZ Honey. You can never own too many (or even possibly enough) Pelikan pens, and this is certainly one you should own.

I have gone through 3 ink refills and each time I use the pen I smile. Now dreaming of getting another Pelikan with OM nib to have a little flair. Am very glad I purchased this pen.

Pelikan is one of the half dozen superb fountain pen brands, and my personal favorite. This one lives up to its expectations. One cannot go wrong with any Pelikan Souveran pen -- if one can afford it.

Great little pen, fantastic EF nib. Does not come with the regular Pelikan box and papers, but at this price who cares. Very satisfied.

La Pelikan è una garanzia per le penne stilografiche e questo esemplare ne è la prova. Scrive sempre in tutti i modi e in ogni situazione, non ti lascia mai da solo. Un solo peccato è la misera confezione con la quale viene spedita, rispetto alla confezione elegante e degna di nota che si ha acquistandola in cartoleria o negozio di penne. Per il resto ottimo acquisto

Le produit est conforme à la description. L'emballage est minimaliste, mais ce n'est vraiment pas important, du moment que l'article arrive en bon état.Mon seul bémol : le stylo est vraiment léger et un peu court, même pour une main petite ou moyenne. La description détaillée que j'ai trouvé (sur un autre site marchand) est cohérente, mais on ne se rend vraiment compte des chose qu'avec une prise en main. Je ne regrette pas mon achat, mais je pense acquérir un modèle qui a plus de corps. Le M200 reste toutefois un très bon stylo (il écrit parfaitement, et c'est sa fonction essentielle) et une entrée de gamme intéressante pour ceux qui veulent "expérimenter" un Pelikan sans trop investir pour un premier achat.

Très beau stylo mais quel dommage de le recevoir dans son emballage tout écrasé, surtout à ce prix! Je veux l'offrir et je n'ai pas de boîte digne de ce nom!

El envío del producto ha sido rapidísimo y en relación con el producto en sí se indica lo siguiente:Pelikan siempre da una gran calidad en sus productos. Sus estilográficas permiten una escritura excelente. El sistema de llenado por émbolo integrado es de los más eficientes y sus plumines y alimentadores, incluso las deestilográficas fabricadas en serie son muy buenos.En concreto, el de esta pluma tiene un plumín extrafino, pues me gustan los puntos delgados y los européos finos, tienden a ser demasiado do gruesos para mi gusto. Poco más hay que decir nuevo de este modelo de la serie m200, salvo que tiene la particularidad de estar fabricada completamente en resina de color marrón, no en el color tradicional negro dominante en este modelo.En el cuerpo de la pluma, junto con la ventana para ver la cantidad de tinta, destaca el juego de luces de la resina con la que está fabricada que recuerda, más que el marmol o el café, una piedra preciosa: el ojo de tigre.La única pega que se puede indicar es que el producto se entrega en una cajita simple de cartón dentro de una bolsita de plástico, envoltorio más ecológico, pero inapropiado para regalar. Esta circunstancia no me ha afectado puesto que la estilográfica la he comprado para uso personal, y supongo que eso ha permitido reducir su costo.En resumen es un artículo muy recomendable.

Firstly, I received the product in the packaging that I've attached pictures of. It does not seem like the pen was safe in that box and you can clearly see that it was crushed during the shipping process. The packaging was a bit of a disappointment as I expected something better from a brand like Pelikan.Moving on from the packaging, the pen itself is really lightweight which I personally like but many people don't. Make do of that what you will. The pen is made out of plastic which may scratch overtime and seems like it could break if you treat the pen harshly. I haven't had the pen for a long time period so I can't comment on that. The nib of the pen seems to be really good, the pen writes very smoothly for an Extra-Fine but my problem with it is that the line the pen down is too broad for me. I can compare the broadness to a Lamy Fine (Which has a track record of being too broad for its size) and Pilot medium. I can accept this as the smoothness of the nib compensates for the size. The piston filling mechanism at the back of the feels smooth but I don't know how often or even how to do maintenance on it for when it starts to get tough to operate or loses its smoothness.Overall, I'm happy with the pen but my complaints about may be inconsequential.
