A black with gold trim Pelikan is to my mind (people will likely disagree) the epitome of a conservative fountain pen. The only other colour on the pen is the green of the ink level window in the body. Today I inked up for the second time my M600 sized version, it was a Christmas bargain and ranks as the least I have paid for a Pelikan M600. The nib for this pen is a 14K M600 two-toned nib custom ground by Richard Binder to a 0.7mm cursive italic. The 0.7mm size suits my writing very well and this nib is a joy to use.
