That's nice, I thought it was an MK10 until I looked closer and saw the nib markings and that it takes carts.

Here's an old catalog

 

M486 seems to be the closest match.

M486 : Plastic cap / platinum coated 14K solid gold nib

M484 : Plastic cap / 14K solid gold nib

M475 : Chrome cap / 14K solid gold nib

They are cartridge/converter models.

Cartridge filler aside, a very nice pen. The 486 certainly seems like a good match.

I can't quite transcribe the small strangled noise I made at the appearance of an M prefix on all those cartridge-fillers. :gaah: "Mechanically Complex Converter"?

Oh, good heavens. He's got a blog now, too.

There is a similar pen on ebay currently, with the only exception that it's a piston filler...

Though the seller advertise the pen set as M20+D20+R20, they are MK20+DK20+RK20.

 

 

K is for Kunststoff .... Plastic cap.

I love Pelikan MK series (MK10, MK20 and MK30).

They are good-looking pens, easy to write with.

 

But the caps are made of fragile plastic, they frequently develop cracks.

And very difficult to repair, they are so thin...... sigh.

Thank you, your catalogs are valuable historical sources! ...and great to look at too.

 

What's the difference between the Mk20 and the M486? Is the M486 a piston filled pen?

 

...and yes, the few pens with plastic cap I have, have hairlines in the caps...

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
