Pelikan M800 - Tortoise Fountain Pen
First release in 1987 as part of the “save the company” marketing, the pen was re-leased in 2013. The striped barrel, made out of cellulose acetate, is stunning to see, as it has subtle orange highlights between the brown tone stripes.
The clip and the rings are 24-carat gold-plated with an 18 carat bi-color gold nib. This elegant series consists of a piston fountain pen, a ball pen, and a roller ball.
The pens were produced in a limited amount, just what they produced in 2013. I am told the pens are no longer available from Pelikan's U.S. distributor.
