Very nice - and the line variation is purely from flex or is the BB nib a bit "stubby" :)

The the writing is with a light pressure and the figure 8s are with pressure. You are right though that it is stub-like. This is definitely the softest most "flexy" post 1960s nib I have used.

 

Agree.. +1

 

What makes it an old style nib? I assume it was produced somewhere around 1988 with the rest of the pen. For me 1970s onward are modern nibs...which may not be consistent with other peoples view of "modern".

Arrived today!

The pen only has Günther Wagner Pelikan imprint at the end of the barrel. No '500' or anything. No nib size either. It has an interesting nib though.

The pencil even has a few leads in it!

What kind of nib is this?

Nice set!

I have at least two Pelikan nibs which have the same grinding at the tip. One is a Pelikan 100N and the other an early 140 as far as I remember. I am quite sure that this is not an accident.

Yes, its definitely not damaged. The underside of the nib is intact.

So I guess its considered to be a rare® nib than? I wonder what could be that purpose of this grinding.

Yes, I would say a rather uncommon nib at least. But I have no idea to be honest. Maybe the grinding should provide a wider range of writing angle...?

 

I have seen Waterman's nibs with similar grinding:

See nib #7 or #3 here on Johns Motishaw's website: http://www.nibs.com/PelikanNibsAvailableForCusto.htm

I think I misunderstood what was meant by "old style". Of course it's an old style and my 18c single tone nib is possibly older than the ones on that site (as far as I know It was only used on the first year of the m600, 1988) but it's still a modern nib.

 

I don't hear anyone raving about their late 1980s nibs like they do about nibs from the 60s and earlier. Anyways, I am new to the world of Pelikan so maybe they are the exception.

I once had an M250 in Burgundy, pre 1997 variant. The nib was more flexible than the most of the 50's and 60's nibs I ever had. But this is rather uncommon I think. No Pictures, sorry.

If I believe Ruettinger web site, they were called "ballpoint nib" (second from the left) :

That seems to be it :notworthy1:

Mine looks like an EF.

I just love the 550 though. Such a smooth pencil! (it has 10 leads in it!)

I don't know how much can these worth, but they'll be mine...

http://kepfeltoltes.hu/140929/CAM00130_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg

They were considerably less expensive at the intro in 1956. Particularly when 1$ = 4DM.

 

Here is a page from the intro sales pamphlet for the 400/500 intro.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
