This makes number two, I have a green stripes with a fine nib from the 1990's and this one a Black with a medium is brand spankin' new from Germany with a medium nib. Got it from Regina Martini off Ebay and she is really fast, the pen showed up in 6 days.

Congrats and enjoy!

I do have a follow up question for the floor, I remember reading on Pentrace a year ago that Pelikan took its nib production back in house, is this true?

Bill

Hi Bill,
Congrats on your new nice Peli.I don't think that is a true.Pelikan nibs are produced by Bock nib Company @ Germany.That's what I know about Peli nibs.

Take Care,
Emrecan

That's true, Emrecan, BUT there has been a hot rumor in the last 6 months or so, that Pel was going to begin making their own nibs again. This rumor propagated by some very knowledgable people in the business.

Like everyone else, I know nothing of its true credibility or, if credible, what the timetable may be.

Good as Bock is, there has been a gnawing feeling among many longtime Pel users that the nibs haven't been as good as when Pel previously made their own.

Hi Roger,
Oh that would be nice I think.I didn't heard it sorry for my dumbness.Thanks letting us know.If the Pelikan nibs are going to better that would AWEsome

Take Care,
Emrecan

I guess I'll believe it when I see it.
