Pelikan Golden Beryl M200 Fountain Pen (TERRIBLE: Steel Nib, F) + Ink: Writing Sample + Close Up

Writing & Ink Sample. Plus a closer look at the pen and nib. CLOSE UP OF INKED PEN 1:38

The nib I received is TERRIBLE. I am speaking as A FAN OF PELIKAN. You can literally hear the violent scratching of the nib in this video especially when it is moving on paper from left to right, when compared to when it is moving from right to left. I will NOT be taking a closer look at the packaging, the ink bottle, or the specific dimension of the Pelikan M200 fountain pen. A lot of people have done that. When searching for more info on this pen on YouTube, none of the videos I found have managed to give clarity on how the ink looks like on paper. (There are some great pics of it on Instagram though). How the ink looks like inside the pen have also been hard for me to see, as many youtube videos of this set have been filmed too far from the pen itself for my liking, and the ink looks brown in all of them. A popular Pelikan reviewer also said that he's disappointed by Pelikan not bothering to match the ink and the pen in this set, which confused me further. I am glad to report that I think they match wonderfully. The ink looks brown because the gold particles always sink to the bottom, whether in the bottle, or in the pen like you see here, and they have to be shaken each time before filling up your pen with it. Either way I tend to not prefer to match my ink with my pen anyway, I like them to be connected in a complimentary theme, one echoing the other in some way, but not uniformed to each other.

Hopefully, although this video has not covered all aspects of this set, it can add to what conversations and information about them that's already out there.

The set can be purchased separately. Not sure if this is true everywhere. Ask your local distributor. I actually thought I was only buying the pen. The ink is nice so I am not complaining. But I am a practical fountain pen user. I use them to write in a mundane way and nothing about my writing is beautiful. So glitter ink (and flamboyant nibs) are often wasted on me.

MY REPLACEMENT NIB HAS ARRIVED! I did request B nib as a replacement because I just can NOT risk it anymore. For the price Pelikan in charging I do not want to have to work for, or pay more money to get the nib that I deserve. I will come back with how that goes as soon as I get the time! Which will be awhile given that my mother is still in ICU today. Bear with me!

Finally, someone shared the issue with some Pelikan QC. I have the same experience with a Pelikan M200 brought last year, over polished, just skips. The nib replacement cost is around 70 usd here, hence, I put the pen aside. Will try to get it fixed in near future. Hope you get a good replacement nib.

scratchy nib! Pelikan knows better! It’s surprising. I have a pelikan go and it’s a smooth writer with every uncapping. Have you taken a loupe and looked at the tines? That gold ink is lovely. 💕

[penthevision]

Thanks for this warts and all review. Beautiful ink. Something’s gone wrong as Pelikan nibs are usually so smooth. Sorry for your bad experience

[ReadingRetail]

i think my daughter used to use these. i think they are very unique💙💙💙

[seemownay]

I'm sorry you are having such a bad experience with the nib. The pen and ink look beautiful but if the nib doesn't deliver the beauty becomes secondary.

[dropofgoldentarot]

I'm wondering if you got your replacement nib and how it's writing?

[waltermolina]

Oh my god. It's very scratchy. Tines might be misaligned. Hope your mother got better.
