Product Description
Pelikan’s Souverän M800 offers many of the same features found on its longer and heavier sibling, the M1000. Smaller Souveräns, like the M200, M400, and M600, are fitted with 14-karat gold nibs, while the M800 features an even softer 18-karat gold nib with rhodium trim Read More
D@#% you Massdrop! D@#% you!! No more Pelikan deals!!! Actually, pleased to get a blue/black combo. I like broader nibs and the 800/805 Bs are awesome.

Thank for giving me a yummy deal and then closing it a few minute later right after I found the money for the drop!
Templarp1800I would suggest getting a Bold, so that the nibmeister has plenty of material to work with and then send it off to someone like Mike Masuyama or Pendleton Brown.
Mike tends to grind his Italics a bit sharper whereas Pendleton strikes a balance between smoothness but still enough line variation.
EDIT: Aaaaaand just like that. They're out of Broad :/
gartland291Why go on Amazon, when you can get this pen shipped to the US for a few dollars less from La Couronne du Compte, thanks to the exchange rates and not being charged VAT. I got my M805 Stresemann from them for $350 USD shipped.
Regarding QA claims listed below on the Pelikan nibs: Both the M400 White Tortoise (purchased here on MD) and my M805 Stresemann needed a bit of adjustment to the nibs, but it was minor and did not require any smoothing pads. They're both two of the nicest writing pens I own.
hey guys, in case you wanna buy pens from CultPen.com, my advice is don't even try. it's much cheaper $300 Pelikan M805, but the pen writes horrible and even worse than lamy safari. I had a horrible experience with the pen and their service. returned the pen immediately after inking it up. they are arrogant and and doesn't help much. i wasted my time and money. it's just happened this month.
below is how the pen writes. noodler's the heart of darkness with tomoe river paper. no further explanation needed.
i searched online before i returned the pen, emailing them about the QC issues, but they later responded that the pen had no issue. that pissed me off.
