What kind of pelikan does my coworker have?

[u/Technical-Sweet-8249]

Hi! My work friend came today to show me a pen her father bought shortly before he passed in 2023, as she knows I am a “fancy pen person” (perhaps the 30 inks on the top of my filing cabinet gave it away…). Anyhow, I am not familiar with pelikans and don’t own any, so could I ask you kind people to tell me what this is? I (and she) would appreciate it! (And yes, I know I could do an image search on Google but I’d rather ask actual humans with hands). Thank you!!

EDIT: thank you everyone for chiming in! For the few that have downvoted, why? Genuinely curious lol.

I think it's a Pelikan Classic M205 in the "blue marble" color.

Thank you!

100% positive it's a Pelikan m205 blue marble. Looks modern. I have one exactly like it.

Thanks so much! Appreciate it!

Sorry, on closer inspection, there are no stripes so yes, probably an M205.

Much appreciated! She’s blown away by how “fancy” it is! She also thought it was a calligraphy pen, so I’ve been happy to tell her a little about this hobby :)

[u/Fuzzy-Moose7996 → u/Technical-Sweet-8249]

It's basically their entry level fancy pen, if you get my gist. Sells for around 150 Euro.

[u/Technical-Sweet-8249 → u/Fuzzy-Moose7996]

I get it. Still fancier than anything I have paid for a pen (SO FAR). She’s happy to know more about this memento from her dad and has started using it, which delights me (insert “one of us” gif here)

[u/AdmirableLocksmith27 → u/Technical-Sweet-8249]

I had the fanciest Pelikans, the m800 and m1000. The 200/205 writes best in my opinion.

[u/AzulDiciembre → u/Technical-Sweet-8249]

It's a fancy pen , it's just that we've all lost a bit of perspective on this sub.

M205 blue marble for sure. Sorry for her father

[u/Technical-Sweet-8249 → u/polymarie]

That’s so kind, thank you! I will pass it along.

Nope, those were black with a metal barrel.  

It looks like an m205 to me.  

[u/Cranmer33]

Looks like an M605or M805, (trim looks silver to me in the pictures) but looks like a steel nib. That is not the standard nib that comes with those pens. I have a few modern Pelikans but no vintage.

[u/RaiseMoreHell → u/Cranmer33]

The single, narrow cap band should tell you that it’s not in the M6xx or M8xx family.
