I just bought this at Endless Pens for $120.00! What's up with that, Massdrop?

Just my personal opinion, but I find a gold-plated steel nib to be somewhat distasteful.
Most of the time, gold serves a purely cosmetic function. A pen nib is one of the rare instances where the metallurgical properties of gold make it the most functionally appropriate material. Thus, I can't see a steel nib painted to seem like a gold one as anything but a pretender.

Daisy_Cutter Gold certainly has very good characteristics as a nib material, and is simply a beautiful and luxurious material, but it is hardly "the most functionally appropriate" material. I do love gold nibs -- gold just has a certain magic to it -- but I have many steel nibs that are the equal in quality and utility of any of my gold nibs. The only knock you can make against them is simply that they aren't gold. So, I believe that anyone who categorically dismisses steel is missing out on some wonderful pens that often have the happy advantage of a much lower cost. :-)
As for seeing gold plated steel as "faking it", that's certainly fair game for a personal view. I don't have a strong preference, but I think steel can be very attractive, and I do find that a gold plated steel often looks a little cheesy.

Daisy_CutterThe tipping material is never gold -- it is much too soft. And that's the part that is in contact with the paper. Nib springiness is as much a function of design as of material. So disliking "gold-plated steel nips" is a broad claim. I have found the election of Pelikan nibs I have used (mostly lower-end) to be pleasant to write with.

For about the same price you can buy the pen in the US without the ink and buy the ink bottle separately (or save a few bucks and buy the 4001 Royal Blue with a normal label). This will get you the same stuff (minus the box) and a warrant. That said, these do seem to be selling out, the earlier green version is creeping up in price when you can find it, so if you live somewhere where the blue is also becoming scarce, this is a much better deal than buying it secondhand at a similar price.

I started experiencing nib creep, not sure why. I used Herbin ink, then I changed the color and the nib started creeping !! I didn't drop it and it is always at home. The pen writes great but it is just annoying see ink on the golden nib.

AdamGHIt just might be the ink. I've had Montblanc Permanent Blue continuously in my Iconic Blue for months with no issues.

AdamGHRest assured this is very normal in fountain pen use. New users tend to not like it, but I think most of us have come to accept it; if not, even enjoy seeing ink begin to fill the embossed patterns on pen nibs. In short, it is inevitable. But if you insist on wiping your nib off each time, a drier or less lubricated ink will lessen its frequency.

Do we know if these are made in Germany? Typically Massdrop will mention it in specs or description.

Not always. Pelikans bought in Singapore are usually made somewhere in South Asia.

Please note: if you buy from Massdrop, the warranty card will not be stamped, and you will not be able to take advantage of the services that Chartpak offers. That said, if you have a problem with your pen, there are any number of excellent pen repair people who will set your pen right. Yes, you will pay for the service, but the cost is reasonable. I have purchased Pelikan pens from Massdrop and have not experienced any problems. They are honorable people, and they don’t sell defective merchandise. If you should find an obvious defect in your pen when it arrives, let Massdrop know, and they’ll make it right. I did, and they did.

I am a fan of Pelikan pens. I already have 7, only 1 is vintage, but that's not important. What's important to me is that I love writing with them. I purchased this one, even though it is a steel nib, because I LOVE the color and I LOVE the blue ink window! I got the B nib and it writes beautifully!
