Reliable Vendors For Pelikan And Lamy Pens


SpinThePen

Recommended Posts

Hello FPN!

 

I'm looking to buy a new pelikan m200 or a Lamy 2000 sometime in the near future, but unfortunately I've had some unlucky experiences with my fountain pen purchases (generally, the nib didn't write as smoothly as I would have liked out of the box, or it was extremely dry, which was inconvenient). Because of this, I was wondering if anyone knew of any vendors that sell these pens and are willing to test them or fine tune the nibs before shipping them out. I was planning on buying the m200 from Richard Binder, but he seems to not be selling them anymore. Does anyone have any experience on other sellers like Richard that are willing to make sure the pen works well?

 

Thank you guys for any input that you have!

John Mottishaw of nibs.com fine tunes his nibs before you get them as well.

Another endorsement for John Mottishaw at nibs.com (aka classic fountain pens). It's nice when a pen has been tested by an expert before it lands in your mailbox.

Another person with good experience with John Mottishaw who sells Pelikan. Wish I could find a salesperson/nibmeister for a Lamy 2000 myself.

      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
