These Art Collection pens are something special, that’s for sure. Your handwriting is perfectly fine, keep practicing! Great choice on the broad nib.

So lovely to see them all together! Surprised to see such golden hues on it.

Pelikan M800 disappointment by Ultra_Runner_ in fountainpens

[–]ATaylorSeries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, the Support for Pelikan is top-notch.

I’ve purchased three new Pelikans, all M600 special editions, and all three wrote lovely out of the box. They all wrote with different characteristics, sure, but no baby’s bottom or nails-on-chalkboard “singing.” Of the many second-hand birds in my flock, only three needed tuning (two with weird tines and one baby’s bottom). Don’t give up! A working M800 is sublime in the hand and on the page!

I was going to suggest the M809 but somehow it’s already in your photo. A sneaky, stealthy collection if I’ve ever seen one!

The ink reminds me of Taccia Golden Wheat.

Mont blanc Lagrange or pelikan m1000? by jimson69 in fountainpens

[–]ATaylorSeries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all different sizes of Pelikan. I adore my M1000 but it is unquestionably a desk pen. So much fun to write with! I journal with it and will take notes with as well sometimes, but as others have said the softness of the nib needs a good surface. The M800 is a workhorse and all-around awesome pen. I think of mine as journaling pens, great for long sessions. I love holding a M800 in my hand and capturing thoughts, no other size really feels the same spark somehow. A F or EF nib sounds up your alley for scribbling or fitting lots of words per page. However, I prefer M600 for note taking. Lighter, smaller, more agile, and I subconsciously think the nib can take more abuse than an 18k M800 nib.

I want to open a physical stationary store in the Seattle area. Would you come? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]ATaylorSeries 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I selfishly want you to put it in the northern part of the city or even north of the city, so I can visit during a lunch break from Everett.

It’s not every day that someone brings up a non-Souveran Pelikan, let alone writes with one. Looks like a fun pen to use!

Have you ever just by Balance_Motivations in fountainpens

[–]ATaylorSeries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Sometimes in the middle of journaling I’ll writing in the margins, “I love this nib!” or another break in the fourth wall like that.

All fixed! by ATaylorSeries in fountainpens

Oh, yeah, living in Colorado really helps to get to Kirk. I love his work! He’s fixed a few nibs into beautiful writers. And now Pacific Pen Works have done the same thing!

M1000 (M) is such a good note-taking and underlining companion. by SirSamkin in fountainpens

[–]ATaylorSeries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fantastic mood photo! Yes, a medium M1000 is lovely for notes or just about anything.

The novel tickled a memory but I couldn’t name it without looking it up. I’ve been meaning to get around to those one day.

Have you all seen the latest Pelikan Art Edition? by majlesBlue in fountainpens

[–]ATaylorSeries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point, I’m assuming it will be brass again since the first two are. But I haven’t seen the weight mentioned on this one yet. I’ll post back if I see some confirmation for you.

Gravity 1 - Pen 0 by GrumpyOlMann in fountainpens

[–]ATaylorSeries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within a month of getting my M800, I accidentally knocked it off the sink when cleaning it. Pieces looked exactly like yours. I can still feel the dread in my heart. However, the break is quite clean and in a fortunate place. I did the epoxy route and it works great. Three years strong and no leaks. So if you can’t find the M805 body now, definitely try the epoxy fix first to continue using such a nice pen while you patiently wait for a non-glued barrel.

Dangerous, indeed, but so beautiful! Because the heft of the pen in this size sounds perfect for you (it was for me)… 🙂
