Back in the FP Game - Pelikan m205


Surprise in the mail!  :)  One of my good friends, A, surprised me with one of my grail fountain pens this week.  It had arrived in the mail yesterday.

Of all of the fountain pens I currently have and have owned, the Pilot/Namiki Vanishing Point and the Pelikan m205 have been ones that I have been lusting after for quite some time - nearly 10 years now.  Yesterday, the search for my grails came to an end.  :)

Well, there's still one pen I'm still looking at - the Vanishing Point in Raden finish.  It's not something I'm actively seeking, but it's still there in the back of my mind.  It's not necessary though - I'm quite happy with my current collection.


The Pelikan m205 sure is a beautiful pen.  The one gifted to me here is one with an EF nib - just perfect.  I hadn't inked it up yet, but I plan on filling it up with a beautiful blue-black of some sort.  The pen width fits perfectly into my small hands, and the weight is very balanced, posted or not.

Overall, it's just a beautiful pen and from dip testing, writes gorgeously.  It's like it was made for me.  :)
