Product Description
A relaunch of the Pelikan M120 first introduced in 1955, the limited-edition M120N features the shape and color scheme of the original, along with the company’s signature piston filling mechanism. Slightly longer than the M120, this new, collection-worthy model differs in another small detail: An engraving on the gold-plated stainless steel nib reinterprets a curlicue found on a Pelikan price list from 1889 Read More

245 MSRP? I have no clue why this pen is so expensive. I mean, it still has a steel nib. The other confusing part is, even with such a discount, why is it so expensive on Massdrop? Retailers in Singapore retail it cheaper. About $20 cheaper.

plastic construction: see context!
In regards to the nib, my criticism has absolutely nothing to do with the writing experience of gold plated steel vs gold; it's the fact that it lacks a gold nib. again, see context.
As I previously stated, I own an original. It performs it's utilitarian function well enough , and is absolutely not worth any more than the ~$50 ($40 + shipping) I paid for it. The context of mine and others posts is being severely contorted. Criticism(s) of this pen isn't that it has all plastic construction or a steel nib; it's the fact an obnoxious price tag is associated to the aforementioned characteristics. Anyone interested in this pen should simply buy an original at a fraction of the cost.

I received the pen in a simple paper box. It's not as what the description said that should have the gift box and soft carrying pouch. Even the product page has shown the package look, but what I received just like this.

rlausaYou know, we all have a bunch of damn fancy boxes clogging up our drawers and cupboards from god knows how many pens, and I say, you're lucky! No reason to feel guilty or hesitant about tossing that cheesy box right the hell out of your life--good reddens! Unlike me, who's still fretting about the sexy box and papers that came with my M1000!

It's more sensitive for ink just in the start than the pilots. Japanese pen to my experience have excellent unk flow and many ither pens are just staring in awe. Try an Iroshizuku ink or a J Herbin that are really nice flowing inks perhaps?

This is my third Pelikan. I believe it is the best fountain pen brand on the market. They offer the best smooth writing nibs, even with a steel nib.

cnramsayFYI the tips on the nibs are what generally lead to smooth vs scratchy writing. Also the tips on the nibs on the pens are never just steel, it's a harder substance. This is also the case for gold nibs, the points are tipped with a different material, sometimes the exact same as the "steel nibs." thus they would both be smooth. The flex of the nib and thus the flow of the ink is affected by the material being either gold or steel. In my opinion gold nibs "appear" to have better nibs because they flex more allowing more ink flow but if you want the same efffect on a steel nib just buy an ink with more flow. Gold also does not corrode where the ink meets the tip but this really has no effect on the smoothness of the writing. I prefer rigid steel nibs for everyday consistent writing and gold flexible nibs for more creative calligraphy writing to adjust flow of ink by pressure to the tip.

I remember my dad was using this pen. I bought it 2 years ago from cultpens and I love it. It is steel nib but it is much better than many gold nib pens. This pen made me a Pelikan fan.

I approve of this drop.
This is a real fountain pen. If you’re a first time purchaser, you won’t be disappointed (or be taken advantage of) should you decide to join the drop.

If you like "the look" of vintage pens, but with the very latest piston-filling mechanism in place, this is a great option.
Quietly stated elegance, no pomp or circumstance, no flashy striations - just a smaller, lightish pen which holds a ton of ink, and writes perfectly every time I unscrew the cap. The nib, while small, is a pleasure to use - I love the gold plating, which adds to the overall aesthetic. Since I purchased this pen, it has never left the rotation, and is typically ink'd with J.Herbin's Lie de The.
Highly recommended.

Ghostwriter+1 on what Ghostwriter said. In fact, I was formulating my remarks, and then I read his and he literally took the words out of my mouth. I got the EF nib, and I thoroughly enjoy writing with it. I had set the pen aside for a week, picked it up, and it started right up. Oh—and what ink did I use in it? Graf von Faber Castell Deep Sea Green. It matches the pen perfectly. BTW, I have a smaller-sized hand, and the pen fits me perfectly. If you like Pelikan, you’ll love this pen. Buy it now!

Too bad it is not the cool white&green marbled one. I would buy that. I have the amber demonstrator m200, which I think is similar to this one in size. I love the marbled Pelikan pens (especially the Pelikan Souverän M800 Grand Place), but the solid or horizontal line pens simply do not impress me. That said, I have never not enjoyed writing with a Pelikan. They are delightful pens.

So they advertise "free shipping" and I click on the drop link and it's not "free shipping".
