Pelikan Classic M200 Fountain Pen - Red Marbled

This is the red marbled Pelikan Classic M200 fountain pen.

The Pelikan M200 is the "gateway Pelikan" in the best way: a classic, compact piston-filler that’s light in the hand, ridiculously practical, and way more premium-feeling than most starter pens. No matter the colorway, you’re getting the same core recipe: glossy resin, the signature Pelikan beak clip, a screw cap, and a differential piston mechanism that makes filling from a bottle feel satisfyingly old-school (and keeps you writing for a long time between refills).

At the business end, the M200 ships with a highly polished, gold-plated steel nib, which is a great introduction to Pelikan's smooth, reliable, and forgiving for everyday notes, journaling, and work writing. One of the most underrated perks of these fountain pens: on modern Pelikans in this family, the nib unit is designed to be swapped by unscrewing it from the section, so you can change nib sizes without committing to a whole new pen.
