The Pelikan 250 set was offered at Kaufhof at a strikingly cheap price and counts as a good everyday writing instrument. From the 250 line Pelikan fits a 585 gold nib; from the 300 line a bicolour nib. Size-wise the M250 corresponds to the M400, although the 400 is somewhat more exclusively finished. The nib breaks in softer after a short familiarisation and offers very good value for the money offered.
