The sovereign M600 is a bit of a compromise candidate between the very light (M300 / M400) and the heavy fountain pens (M800 / M1000). It's a really good pen with a not so small ink reservoir. In addition to the classic design Stresemann there (at present mainly as reimport), a variant in blue - silver. This seems a bit more modern, but not quite as classy as the classic versions. The M600 is a real piston filler without converter. The use of ink barrel is inevitable. This works well and without Klekserei. The ink selection is extensive. Besides the classic Pelikan 4001 ink, there is the more visually appealing packaged Pelikan Edelstein ink. The colors differ here from the 4001 version. "Ruby" is, for example, richer and darker red. Outside the Pelikan world is also to get almost any color. Many expensive inks are different in color and of handling almost not from low-cost Pelican 4001 product. A final statement is always difficult, because paper, pen and ink supply together (with serial dispersion) the result. The difference from M600 to M800 heavy is clearer than the small M400. This applies especially to the mechanics. From M800 partially brass is used in the plunger mechanism. In the series up to M600, this is not the case generally. This also the M600 is a light pen - the well is also in hand. Qualitative losses are not to be feared because of design in plastic. The filler is processed very high quality. It is a pleasure to write with it. Depending on the dealer and request both 14 kt (585) or 18 kt (750) gold feathers available. The classic M600 - spring consists of 585 gold. One difference between 14 kt and 18 kt is writing but not so easy to notice. 18 carat (kt) means that in one gram of material 0.75 grams of gold contained. Because gold is very heavy, the volume fraction of the material is much smaller. The notion that three-quarters of the pen is made of pure gold, is a beautiful misinterpretation. The spring looks - whether 14 or 18 kt - always very nice. The proportions are very consistent, and it is a certain eye - opener when just in simpler versions the spring emerges. It is an experience for the soul, but also the writing comfort is very high. When compared to the M400 M600 is the diameter in spring close slightly larger. For prolific writer that can lead to a significantly more relaxed writing. Especially the finer feathers allow a very rapid writing almost without pressure. One must not be afraid of the nib widths F and EF. The springs fall out relatively wide. In addition, you can leave for 4 weeks to change the spring at Pelican charged. Lefthanded be possibly of the company Aurora better served than by Pelikan. Here at least there is a wide left-handed spring. But as a special spring takes errors in the writing posture quickly foul, ie, the filler is made. The M600 is a nice fountain pen for everyday business. Much and fast writing is his strength. As Signature penholder he is possibly a little too easily. But this is an individual decision. The standard spring width M is almost a little too thick for small and very small letters. Who seriously - but smaller - requires fountain pen, is well served by the M625. It is partly made of 925 silver. A value system are - if at all - the 620s editions. These take the design on different topics and are therefore not in an almost unlimited number of items on the market. The model M605 has no gilded fittings. It is used instead of silver. The pen works by more modern. Separately see all Pelikan fountain pen in natura much nicer from the pictures. Ink Head and spring have an above average reputation. For a lot of money to get a working device that I enjoy. Can you buy a fountain pen on the Internet? There are fountain pens that have problems with the ink flow. This is rare, but it is very annoying, because the first repair is not always applied. Also you have to enter the filler and a chance to work for a while with a device that writes often only the second half of a letter. Here, the trader can spot little more help than the good and speedy service Pelikan itself. The works similar to the process at a return from the shipping trade. A good dealer is the much higher price always worth sure just when he performs many brands and nib widths and also can try. Mistake one can make with a Pelikan fountain pen barely. Again: The typing comfort is very high. However, it may still be that the pen with the time seems too narrow or the ink reservoir is too small. Therefore one often has more than one high-quality filler and likes but everyone.
