Pelikan no longer produces this grind, which makes it the hardest of the M200 widths to find. Despite the name it behaves more like a stub than a true italic: the corners are softened rather than left crisp, so it gives line variation — wide on downstrokes, narrow on cross strokes — without the sharp edges that make a true italic unforgiving to write with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe unit includes nib, feed, and collar, and screws straight into any 200-series pen. It also fits the M400 and M600, which makes it a way to put an italic in a gold-nib Pelikan without buying a gold italic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscontinued width: Pelikan no longer makes the Italic Broad in the 200-series steel nib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub-like grind — real line variation, but forgiving enough for everyday writing rather than calligraphy only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete unit (nib, feed, collar): unscrews and swaps in minutes, no tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-plated steel, matching the gold trim on the M200 and the special editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso fits the M400 and M600, a cheaper route to an italic in those pens than a gold nib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLets one pen carry several widths — swap by mood or task\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Replacement nib unit (nib, feed, collar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib size: Italic Broad (stub-like grind)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Gold-plated stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Pelikan M200 \/ M205 series; also M400 and M600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatus: Discontinued by Pelikan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New old stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e These are new old stock — unused, in original condition, from discontinued inventory.
