The M205 is at the less expensive of the Pelikan line, coming in at an MSRP of $210 and available many places for $168. Like past iterations, it can also be purchased as a gift set which includes the pen and matching ink along with some more unique packaging. The nib was well aligned out of the box and presented no issues with hard starts or skipping (admittedly your mileage might vary). The Star Ruby is a darker burgundy red also with a pinkish hue. Would definitely recommend if you want some subtle sparkles on your Pelikan Glad you’re enjoying the pen despite the smaller size.
It wasn’t just the color, but the sparkle that got me! That means you get a great piston filling system at a fraction of the cost of a Souverän.

This can usually be flushed with a syringe but can be annoying, particularly if you aren’t aware of it. That same money could buy a nice 140 on the secondary market equipped with a gold nib that has infinitely more character. One downside specific to Pelikan’s demonstrators is that there is an inner sleeve in the section behind which ink can become trapped.
At no point have I experienced any fatigue with use. This page does contain affiliate links, but this post is not sponsored in any way. At least it is not listed on the order page jst 3 nibs are available, F M and BVanness may just be out of stock at the moment. If this is something that catches your eye, I’d say go for it! The pen is enhanced with silver trim, silver clip, and a steel nib. I still don’t I think I’d want one, but you’ve made me want to at least see a Dorothy in person. I received aa bottle when I attended the Seattle Pelikan Hub, but you can find this ink for sale at most pen retailers, including Pen Chalet. I bought mine from The M205 Star Ruby is a demonstrator pen with a piston filling mechanism. I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed.The M205 Star Ruby is Pelikan’s Special Edition Demonstrator Pen for 2019, and is paired with a matching Edelstein ink of the same name. At the end of the day, the nib performs admirably which is probably all we can ask of it.Despite belonging to Pelikan’s entry level tier of pens, the piston assembly is little different than what we find in some of the higher end models. For the love of pens, paper, office supplies and a beautiful place to workAs I said a few weeks ago, when I laid eyes on the Pelikan M205 Star Ruby, I knew I wanted it right away. Those would include a single trim ring at the piston knob as well as a cap sporting a painted one chick logo, a single cap band, and a beak clip.
When doing so, the Star Ruby takes on a balance and size that is superb and very comfortable for writing. Until then, keep writing and enjoy your flock, big or small. It wasn’t just the color, but the sparkle that got me! Often, the gold nibs seem to just have a big blob of tipping material on their nibs, while the steel nibs are more interesting to write with. They are actually the same size as the M4xx Souverän line. The Star Ruby is approximately 4.92 inches when capped, 5.71 inches posted, and has a diameter of 0.46 inches.
I’m not sure what next year will bring but keep an eye on The Perch for all of your Pelikan news. The nib is stainless steel and lacks any plating.
And it is love at second sight.

It is a limited edition so supplies won’t last forever.DISCLAIMER: Some of the items included in this review were provided to us free of charge for the purpose of review. The M205 Star Ruby fountain pen and ink gift set is sure to add some jazz to her flock. The piston travels the length of the barrel with ease and gives nearly a full fill with just a single actuation. Pelikan’s recently released M205 Star Ruby fountain pen is a trail blazer worthy of review. Very different animals. I had no problem filling it with ink and it wrote right away and was super smooth! It is a size that is a little smaller than I like but I knew that going in. It is not the form factor or the nib that stands out nor is it the filling system.

– Being a lower tier pen doesn’t mean Pelikan skimped on qualityAs mentioned above, the M205 falls under Pelikan’s Classic line which is, by nature, not as polished or refined as their Souverän series of pens. It is subtle, but beautiful. This is a pen that was made to be posted. I agree this one is worth it. I’ve seen the pen at the #Pelikanhubs in Vienna a couple of weeks ago. Lighting makes all the difference in the world for this one.Joshua, I see that you used Edelstein Star Ruby ink for your review of the Star Ruby pen. All of these features combine to make the Star Ruby one of the nicest additions to the Classic line in some time.
You can call or email and ask if they are getting any EF nibs in stock.Great review, Laura!
