Review Title: Spectacular Pen and Ink

This is classic Pelican-engineered reliability and beauty. The packaging is fitting for this 2024 SE Classic gemstone inspired M200. The piston filling system is smooth and reliable. The stainless steel nibs (broad for me) are smooth and precise. For those who may not know, Pelikan piston fillers are some of the easiest fountain pens to clean. The nib unit can be unscrewed to allow the barrel and nib to be flushed with a blunt syringe, and the nib unit flushed with a bulb syringe. Like some of the former gemstone inspired editions, this one has a gold shimmer included tastefully in the pen’s resin and the matching ink. The ink is the most shimmer-filled ink I have ever used. If you are not a shimmer fan you could skip the ink… or skip agitating the ink bottle before filling the pen. All in all, this would be a great addition to a flock. It would also be a great introduction to Pelikan fountain pens.
