The nib for my Pelikan is great! Appelboom does a great job responding to inquiries and shipping products to the U.S. on a timely basis. Would definitely do business with them again.
When you buy nibs you not sure what your going to get; either great or very poor, especially in smoothness and alignment. Every thing I have ever gotten from Appelboom has been perfect from this nib to full pens, inks and accessories.. and they wrap them as if it were Christmas....It certainly is for me. Thanks, for your efforts, Great! Keep up the perfect work.
I lean toward broader nibs in general, but this EF nib is fantastic. About as smooth as you can expect from an EF, and that Pelikan nib feel is certainly present. Not nearly as fine as a Japanese EF, but that is to be expected. Very happy with this nib.
The Pelikan M 800 replacement nib I ordered arrived quickly, like previous shipments. Based on my previous excellent experience with Appelboom's nib meister's check of an ordered fountain pen, I hoped to benefit from that service again. But unfortunately such an undertaking could not be made to a sole nib without a complementary pen, as I was told. That argument sounded reasonable, even if to some extent a bit disappointing. As it may happen, I received the nib in a fair yet not perfect condition to my taste. I had to hand it over to my local nib meister. Now it is flawless. Nevertheless, thanks to Mr. Appelboom for his usual care.
As always the delivery was swift. I asked for Appelboom’s in-house nib meister to check the Pelikan M 800 medium replacement nib. To my regret yet totally understandable Joost explained that without the pen nibs cannot be checked separately. No complaints! Yet the nib had to be adjusted by a local nib meister after arrival in order to be flawless.
