Hey kids!

I just bought an M150 from the ever-rad Dillo. I've read that Pelikan's have a three year warranty- which to me, means you would have to submit some sort of registration card so that they know when the Pelikan was purchased, and to give you your three years from then on. The M150 I bought doesn't have any sort of card- so how do I go about starting my 3 years?

Nothing wrong with the pen, just want to have things sorted in case I do have to use it. Thinking about a nib swap- my F is wider than my Lamy 2000's F. Not a bad thing per se, just debating...

Thanks!

Regards,
Aaron

I am by no means an expert on things like this but as far as I know the nib exchange is only available in the first four weeks after purchase rather than in the 3 years warranty. I did not get a card with my Pelikan but I did get a guarantee booklet in the box that was signed and dated by the person I bought it from. I am assuming you have one of these guarantees, if not I think there is supposed to be. I don't know if any of that helps.

Don't know how it is in the USA but Pelikan Germany never asked for any warranty when I have sent a pen to them.

They did nearly everything for free (nib adjustment, flow problems, piston problems). I have been charged 5 Euro for some nibwork on a vintage nib once but everything else was for free. And most of the pens had been pre 97 M400s or M250s meaning there was no warranty at all for any pen I sent to Pelikan ....

Their customer service is outstanding!

Never had any warranty/registration card come with any of my Pels. Chartpak (in US) is always obliging.

Hi,

I just noticed that the instruction book was sitting on my desk this Saturday, I have put in in an envelope and will send it off. I sign the back. You do not need it for repairs though.

You're going to love that M150. Mine has become my everyday pen, and it loves any ink that I put in it. A tad small, but the pen writes like a dream!

Dillo- you rule! Thanks a ton! I imagine my wife may not agree as time goes on a bit,t hough...

Indeedie PTR- I do love my M150. It's an incredibly nice pen, especially considering the cost.

On the subject of size- I'm not sure what size is good for me. It seems to depend on the pen- a Parker Vector writes smoothly but has given my hand cramps when I've tried to use it (meaning to sell it, $12 shipped; haven't gotten photos taken yet), but the M150 has felt quite comfortable. It is a bit thicker, but not a ton. *shrug*

...and thanks again to Dillo for facilitating a bit of the Pelikan love.

The Vector grip always gave me grief but I am fine with the 150. A lot is the shape and the balance of the pen. I post everything these days so posting the cap helps me as well. But the Vector grip was slippery to me and the step up from grip to barrel cut into my hand. It's surprising what little details can make a pen feel different even when the overal dimensions may be similar.
