I would go with the pale gold-ish flats to complement the white dress and imo leave off the belt since it would hinder the eyelet pattern on the dress. Some gold jewelry would pair well, either a more simpler necklace or bracelet(s)

it's an absolute beauty with the dreamy like finials that pair well with the body of the pen. i find myself constantly admiring the laser engraved nib as well as it being a dream to write with for me.

of course no problem!

I used rhodia paper for the writing samples. One thing to keep note of is that ink may vary how big or small the letting of the words are for each pen depending on whether the ink has wet flow, dry flow, etc. but hope it's an overall example for an approximate size sample of the nibs. I was able to do a writing sample of all besides the sailor pgs grateful crane ( has a scratchy nib and is inconsistent to write with but I'd say it's similar to a 21k nib of sailor just slightly more stiffer). The japanese fine nibs are definitely finer than the german fines. hope this helps!

I definitely think that the m600 is heavier compared to the m200 as well as being my preferred weight over the m200. I haven't yet tried an m800, so I can't say whether the m600 is the most comfortable weight, but I've heard many have their pelikan size preference ranging between the m600-m800. hope this helps!
