Review Title: A Satisfied Customer

A reason I like to use fountain pens is that at their best, they are pieces of utilitarian beauty. And while my tastes may be on the childish side as I am still attracted to bright colours, the blue of this pen reached out to me and I could not stop thinking about it.

So I decided to buy it. The blue is as vibrant as the pictures and gives me pleasure every time I use it. And I use it a great deal, because the nib is exactly how I like my nibs, laying down a line that does not overcrowd the lines in my notebooks and with a tactile feeling of being there, without being there too much.

With regard to nibs, I mention to possible buyers of Pelikan pens that in my opinion they tend to be rather broad. In the past I purchased a M100 with a medium nib and found that it was too broad, so this time I went with a fine. And it is exactly what I wanted.
