Noted fountain pen expert and author on the subject, Peter Twydle, said in response to an opinion question on the absolute best fountain pen, that the Pelikan M800 was the winner. He writes: “The M800...remains, in my mind, the fountain pen by which all others should be judged, for its reliability, its ink capacity, its strong structure with brass mechanism, and its value for money...”. Little more need be said, but when I first read this, I couldn’t wait to buy the Souveran M800 Blue Stresemann. The pen has lived up to all my expectations and to Twydle’s remarks. I own over 100 fountain pens, some cheap and fun, a few more expensive than the M800, but none of greater value and writing pleasure. The Stone Garden is a new design this year, and in addition to a beautiful pen, you would be getting a truly magnificent writing instrument. It’s a big ticket item, true, but your grandchildren will thank you.

Stressman refers to the stripes on the body of the pen. They are a tribute to a German Politician who wore pinstriped suits. The gray striped one is the only one that was actually marketed as a “Stressman” and is the most recent color added to the striped Pelikans.

This is a fabulous price on a beautiful pen. I have a M800 Grande Place which I bought before this, I would have gotten this one had I known it was coming out in the future, but I can't buy everything, at least I'm trying to learn that new skill.

Chipp1There's so much information that is wrong that gets recycled decade after decade. The craziest ones concern oblique cut nibs, most say right handed writers should get obliques cut like a left foot when viewed from the top, when if you're buying oblique for line variation, right handed writers using right foot shaped oblique nib gives you the most variation, almost like an italic. I personally love sharp thin italics, but nearly every time I write I dig into the paper at least twice a day. You adjust your hold on the pen and continue writing. Experienced pen stores can see the angle your pen makes when you hold it, prescribing an oblique that will contact the paper at your preferred writing angle. Few stores have this knowledge, but some do. Such a pen is a joy because it's fitted to your writing posture.
So right handed writers can use both types of obliques, same for left handed writers. An expert can fit the various postures of left handed writers, hooking, or underwriters. See: https://www.nibs.com/content/left-handed-writers

Good price on a great pen. I’ve had my M-800 stone garden for over a month now. Got it with a fine nib at a
special pre-release price. This Massdrop price is the lowest i’ve Seen here in the states. The free US shipping is an added plus.
It has become my favorite pen. The deep blue section grip, cap and blind cap are a great treat from the traditional black. The barrel colors are a bit more subdued on mine than the pics here. There Is no ink window, but tha barrel lets just enough light pass through that you can get a fix on your ink level if held up to a light.
I have several M-800’s. They are called “the Writer’s Pen” because they are such great writers and comfortable in the hand. This one has all the writing qualities of an M-800 with the added benefit of this unique color scheme.
Pelikan nibs tend to be rather juicy. The ink line on my fine is similar to a European Medium. I did a writing sample contrasting my fine Pelikan nib with a Broad Sailor Realo. Both put down a nice wet ink line with the Pelikan being tiny bit thinner in width than the Sailor.
‘For my hand, the Pelikan Fine Gold nibs work well for me. In Pelikan Steel nibs I prefer Mediums.
Hop his helps. Glad I bought mine. Don’t think you will regret it either.

Your avatar fits. You should have beenspanked more as a kid. Maybe you would have learned how to behave in the company of grown ups.. If you have something factual to say then do so, being rude is not helpful to anyone.

It is not your problem, I think. I also should have thought it as black if I only see it from my computer monitor. MD hasn't paid attention to color balance when he/she took the picture.
Though color preference is based on very personal taste, the actual design is at least better than what appeared in that photo. ;-)

I LOVE this pen. It is simply gorgeous. The autumnal colors contrasted with navy makes it a stand out. It writes beautifully. On Apica premium paper, it feels like you're writing on glass it sooo smooth. I also have the M800 Grand Place. Gorgeous as well. I purchased Stone Garden with a F nib and the Grand Place with a M nib. They are virtually the same to me. I have no regrets on either purchase. This price is unreal. I paid about $100 extra for mine.

Put the breaks on my collection last summer. (have more pens than I know what to do with), and I’m glad I did. Pens keep getting more expensive, but they don’t really get any better.

mkohanekNo, but if you can buy this it usually means someone else will come and cook dinner for you.

I've been using this pen for the last week, having purchased it from Goldspot as soon as it became available. While I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with the pen yet, I'm quite pleased with my purchase. It's a beautiful pen that writes just right by me.
I should note that the colors in the barrel aren't quite as striking as the photographs suggest. Even still, it's plenty pretty enough for me. I can't imagine anyone will be disappointed with this little jewel.
I paid $620 for the pen. It can be had at that price, plus a bottle of the Edelstein ink, from a few websites. If you go the retail route, you might want to call ahead and insure they have the pen in stock with the nib of your choice. That's what I did with Goldspot. Their service is always first rate and if you're like me and don't want to wait for your pen, this might be the way to go.
Otherwise, Massdrop's price is better than any I could find in the US, although you might be able to match it through an overseas retailer. And, truth be told, I didn't look aggressively for the best price. Purchasing through Massdrop comes with the usual caveats of delivery time, availability of your choice of nib, etc. But, the price is
definitely attractive.
If you want to read a good review of the Pelikan M800 Stone Garden, I suggest you head over to thepelikansperch.com. "Joshua" penned a solid, thorough review of the pen,
Good luck!

I was considering this drop and then saw it on Endless Pens for $333 (including a 10% pre-order discount). I don't have any experience with Endless Pens so I'm undecided at this point.

LambChop11I bought a Leonardo Devil's kiss momento zero pen from them. No problems at all. They have very competitive prices on some of their pens. Not sure why, but I'd say go ahead
