Congrats John! the blue M800 is a very classic Pelican pen! Enjoy it and write happy!

Lion · 23 April 2010, 11:16 AM

John, I glad you made the decision to buy one and know you will be happy when it arrives. Now of course I guess this means I'll need to buy one as well(I have secretly been looking at them)since that would be a good direction to go forward in!!!

Nice!

It certainly is a slippery slope once you get started. Post up some pics when it arrives.

Thanks Kai! I'm looking forward to it. This was one of those pens that just grabbed my interest. The more I read the more I liked. FP's are like candy!

Well, cut my carotid artery! You did what?! I must see the evidence. Congratulations! (I will probably be vaporized for saying this but they are much more comfortable than MBs and there are many more colors and patterns from which to choose. OMG, I think I see a lightening bolt and it's headed my way . . .)

Evidence will be posted as soon as I receive it, Faith.

Hi John, I have a green Pelikan Souveran 800 fountain pen with a fine nib. I love it ...... great fountain pen!

Lion · 24 April 2010, 08:29 AM

John, because of you(snicker, snicker)I have been checking into either a Pelikan M800 or the M600 for my next consideration.....Damn my checkbook is going to suffer!!! LOL!!!

Cool Richard. The same as mine in a different color. I'm really looking forward to this pen. It's supposed to be here on the 28th and I'm excited about it.

BTW, haven't seen you posting much lately. Good to see you back on.

Many congratulations John, looking forward to seeing the photos and reading your review once it arrives, this part of the forum is dangerous, I too have been looking at the Pelikan fountain pens

I have a terramundi pot that I throw pound and 2 pound coins in, it has to be broken before one can retrieve the money, it is my i pad fund and is nearly full, Apple are taking an awful long time to bring those beauties to England, much longer and I will be writing rather than touch screen typing.

Edit: Not sure if the name "Terramundi" is International so I thought I would put a linky in.

JBat · 25 April 2010, 05:59 AM

Thanks Dave. I really like the Pelikans, and if I take to this one, I'll probably end up with more. Your pot sounds like your version of our piggy banks!

Lion · 25 April 2010, 06:23 AM

Thanx John, I might take you up on that offer if I get in a bind.....

Dave hang in there...when is Apple suppose to release it in Great Britain???

Dates haven't been given yet Leo, I have heard that the non 3G versions could be released at the end of May, but I have also heard it might not be till the end of June, not to bothered about the 3G versions to tell the truth.

oneillba · 25 April 2010, 09:18 AM

I am a Mont Blanc man, but I've heard good things about them. Maybe I need to get one?

John, I must apologize ....... I made a mistake ..... my green Pelikan Souveran fountain pen with a fine nib is a 750 not an 800 ....... I have had it for many years.
What can I say ....... I am old and my memory is not as good as it used to be. When I checked the nib on my Pelikan, it says 750. Love the pen!
Hope you enjoy yours!

I believe 750 on nib incidates 18K (18/24 = .750).

Lion · 25 April 2010, 02:30 PM

Yes, 18k is .750 and .585 is 14k.....

Richard, you can go to Richard Binder's web (http://www.richardspens.com)
and click on the Pelikan logo and scroll all the way down, there is Pelikan dimensional chart
that will help you identify your Pelikan.

Joji, thank you so much ....... that is just what I was looking for. Turns out I was right in the first place ..... I do have an M800.
Thank you for all your help. That is a great website ..... I have it bookmarked now.

No worries, Richard. I'm sure I'll love it. I'm a full-fledged FP junkie at this point...

Yes, the show starts on Thursday April 29th and ends on Sunday May 2nd. It cost $60.00 to attend for all four days or Saturday and Sunday admittance costs $25.00. I'd like to go on Thursday or Friday but they do not have a price set for either of those days so I guess I'll go on the weekend. And I am looking forward to going and seeing what it's like!!!
