In the description, it stated red marbled lacquer, although in the picture, it looks more like brown. Can't wait to see it when I get it...

Mltv1016I read the reply below that we can only do so "only by replacing the entire nib and grip section". However, can we trouble the administrator to check if its still possible to change it to fine/extra fine nib? Thank you.

I wish I could get this nib in that brown marbled Pelikan drop, or even better, a higher-end Pelikan marbled pen drop.

Interesting. I wish I were still in the market for FPs, this looks like a decent price for a 14k nib.

Also, to add to writerstephen, this is only a Broad nib. I have only one Pelikan, the M200 SE Smoky Quartz. It is a steel Fine nib. Writes wet. (I have Pelikan Edelstein Smoky Quartz in it.) So I wouldn't advise this being your first gold nib pen. If you like Broad nibs, then it's a good buy. If you have larger hands, you might not like how slim this pen it.

A couple caveats/facts about this pen (which I picked up on the last drop):
--It is veeeeerrrrrrryyyyy (I mean very) slim, skinny, thin, pick your moniker. Like just thicker than the converter skinny. Just so you know. --Mine has flow issues, like a lot of others have reported. Because the nib is so slim, and the tip so broad, it behaves almost like a stub. --It is a very smooth nib. Also very flexible with respectable line variation. If you can keep it from railroading. Use wet ink.
It posts very well and is well balanced.
My opinion: If you don't have any 14k nibs in your collection or if you are a fountain pen newbie, i wouldn't start here.

cagenutsThis particular shipment is stuck in customs right now, so we have not been able to receive it yet. We do not have any insight on when it will be release, but I'm working with our logistics team to keep track of this so that I can provide you all with an update as soon as it moves. Thanks for your patience in the meantime!
