Quick Question

[i4sgeorgiev]

Hello all,

 

I've found 2 Pelikan FPs both for 40$ (images are attached)

 

-Pelikan DRP (I think)

-Pelikan 140

 

Ofcourse there is a problem:

 

First one doesn't have clip and the second is mising the clip and top of the cap.

 

My question is they worth the price and where can I find the missing parts?

 

Thanks in advance!

Sorry to sound like a wet blanket, but they wouldn't be worth the price to me, unless I just wanted to experiment with restoring them or needed parts from them. The pen in the top photo looks like a 120, not a 140, and these can be had, whole and functioning, for less than $100. I don't know anything about the other you mention, and the bottom photo is too small to see anything.

 

All that said, if you really wanted to go for it, maybe to restore the pens yourself, you could check with Rick Propas about the missing parts; he may have them or be able to point you to them. I believe he is travelling until mid-June and may not be able to help you until then.

I would stay away from these as they need work and with replacement parts, will be just as expensive as if you bought an intact example if not more so. Great pens, just not in great condition.

Seriously, imagine the people who broke their own pens and who are looking for the same parts as you. I see parts go for ridiculous prices all the time. Mainly for Parker pens but I can imagine supply is even more limited for Pelikan parts. My advice is just get a new Pelikan M200 and a full flex 400 nib from Richard Binder. Is it more expensive yes, but I think you will be more happy in the long run.
