I just took in another nice pen in trade and if it were not for other pressing needs I'd keep it. Brand new Pelikan M 600 Souveran in solid black with gold trim. Sweet and smooth OB nib.....I'm so tempted to ink it but haven't. The fellow who traded me out of some other items is not a patient man, and he just ditches the boxes, so I'm afraid I have no box. No worries of course with Pelikan's service from Chart Pak. Retail on these critters is $290. You can shop the Internet and find one for the $195 range or so and up. This one for only $170 delivered anywhere on the planet that USPS delivers to. Best and blessings!
