That is the first I have seen of this one

Here's some more pics of it:





I just won it on ebay this afternoon. So I guess I'll be getting to know all about it soon enough.

If anyone knows anything about it, I'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions on the pen.

I think the pen might be from the '60s. But I don't really know.

This pen will be my first Pelikan pen.

It looks like a M20 or a M30 to me.

Edit : I guess the number "20" on the cap lip in the pictures hints towards a M20...

There are apparently 2 types of Pelikan 20s. A P20 and a M20. The P is a cart filler and the M is a piston filler. I guess I'll have to wait until I get it in the mail to find out which version I have.

I think yours is a piston Chris, judging from what I think is the blind cap (one third of the barrel at the end).

Let us know with a little review and enjoy it.

I'll know for sure in about 10 days as it's coming from Canada (Ontario or somesuch).

I hope I like the pen. I threw a bid on it for the hell of it and ended up winning.

I'll be sure to post my thoughts after I get it and use it a bit.

Well it just flew in from Canada and boy is its wings are tired. :ph34r:

It is indeed an M20 which makes it a piston-filler.

This pen as you can see from the pictures has a partially-hooded nib. Looks like the nib is a M. Absolutely butter smooth and lays down one of the wettest lines I've ever seen come out of a fountain pen.

One really odd thing about this pen, is that the cap weighs more than the pen itself.

The piston works great (a big worry of mine) and it's currently loaded up with some Quink BB. It's not the color I ultimately want to use in it (it's screaming WM FL Blue at me). So I'll have to swing by the old FPH sometime this week to get some.

I've only done a small amout of writing with it this morning, but I'm very, very impressed with it.

Here is the writing sample to make it easier for all to see..

Thanks Griz.
