I was close to pulling the trigger, but I managed to find a better price: https://appelboom.com/pelikan-souveran-m1000-maki-e-five-lucky-bats-fountain-pen/
Pelikans are a tough sell on MD, not being an authorized retailer and all. For me, a good price is worth consideration given that, mechanically speaking, there really isn't that much to a fountain pen, so the warranty isn't a concern. However an intricate pen like this, no return policy, no warranty, and not even the lowest price?
