Pelikan Fine-Writing 808811 Classic M200 Piston Fountain Pen Marbled Brown Nib M 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.

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.

Good writer but a little wet for normal paper.

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 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.

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.

A gorgeous penn, a beautiful springy nib, creating a very responsive line with quite a lot of variation, from a vendor who is selling their pens at a decided discount. You can't go wrong, presuming you're in the neighborhood for a pen that APPROACHES $100 without actually GETTING to that point. This lovely Pelikan pen is worth every penny.

cute and gorgeous. decent pen. good feel in my hand.

Pelikan è una garanzia. Certo ci sono modelli oppure altre penne (marchi) più pregiati. Ma questa è perfetta, una fluidità di scrittura ed una affidabilità unica ed è certamente la mia penna prediletta. Rapporto qualità prezzo imbattibile, se si vuole qualcosa di più pregiato si và sulla m400 o m600 ma personalmente questo pennino scrive meglio di altre penne con pennini in oro in mio possesso. Andate sul sicuro, attenzione che questa elevata qualità della penna ha un lieve prezzo da pagare cioè l’inesistenza di un packaging adeguato, arriva infatti in una semplicissima scatoletta di cartone. A me interessa poco, preferisco una buona penna a “tanta scena e poca sostanza”. Ma se ad esempio la volete regalare mettete in conto l’acquisto di una custodia.

Bewährte Qualität. Tolles Schreiberlebnis. Ich suchte für mich neben meinen 100n, 140, M150 und diversen Montblanc und Lamy Füllern noch einen Alltagsschreiber, den ich mit dem M200 gefunden habe. In Federbreite B mit Edelsteintinte gibt's ein schönes Schriftbild.

Good

Pelikan does make some of the best pens in the world, with excellent and very smooth nibs. A pleasure to write with, and quality to last a lifetime. OK, it is not a cheap pen, but also not as ridiculously priced as some others. Money well spend, in my view.

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.
