Piazza Navona
This is part of Pelikan's "Cities Series" and rather than hold the name of a single city, this pen is of a particular piazza in Rome. Because 2005 was the year of a group trip, and we were planning to all meet at the Piazza Navona, when this pen came along, even my wife said "it was a sign".
The pen was only available in three sizes of nibs: fine, medium and broad. I placed a special order for my pen through the folks at Vancouver Pen to get the broad nib. It was worth the wait.
I had read about the size, and being smaller than the M800 I was worried. But I tried one of the other Cities Series and was of the view it would be fine. I can write with the pen, but I do find it a bit on the small size with the M800 being the best size for my hand. While there are some regrets, every time write with it, the nib creates a writing experience that puts those thoughts aside.
For some, the fact that the cap has a different tone than the body may cause concern, I think the variance adds more visual appeal to the pen. Almost every year we travel to Rome, and every trip I walk through the Piazza Navona. The two tones is totally appropriate to the range of colour tones in the Piazza.
Would I buy another in the Cities Series, probably not due to the size; would I part with my Navona - no way.
M600 total length 134 mm (M800 142 mm), Barrel Length103 mm (M800 105 mm), Cap length 62 mm (M800 67 mm), Barrel Width 124.4 mm (M800 13 mm).
