A Pelikan from Germany, by way of Leigh, flew into my pencase a few days ago.
It’s a handsome bird in green, black, and gold plumage.
A window in the barrel – see the bubble? – lets you know how much ink is left.
Inked with some of Leigh’s Pilot asa-gao (morning glory) ink from the Iroshizuku line, it lays a wide wet line. It’s my first broad nib.
Before I got it, I wasn’t sure I’d like it, as I’m a fine and extra fine nib girl. But now that I’ve tried it out, I think, “Where have you been all my life, broad nibs?” It’s a lesson to me to be more open to trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone.
The Peli’s beak serves as a clip.
The clip has eyes…
The top of the cap bears a portrait of this noble bird.
The nib is splendiferously handsome.
Together my Peli and I shall fly on wings of fancy in clouds of words, trailing playful colors of ink as we streak across skies of paper.

is that really an M150? it seems that an m250 gold nib can fit in an M150′s.
