They should use the fourth image in a promotional ad about their quality control...

The sword is mightier than the pen. However, swords are now obsolete whereas pens are not.

Personally I've never had any issues with Pelikan's quality control. I find their products to be second to none. I understand that when there are issues they resolve them swiftly and without question.

I agree that Pelikan is tops in quality in my long experience. I own (roughly, who counts?) a dozen Pelikan fountain pens purchased over twenty-five years, from some very plain green-and-black Italic writers I bought in the '80's all the way up (in price) to the Toledo and the Ocean. I have had zero problems out of the box writing with every one of these pens.

 

Speaking of logos, when I bought my Ocean in California fifteen years ago, the pen shop owner threw into the deal one of those display pelicans in dark green glass (or shiny pottery, whatever it is) that they are not really supposed to sell to retail customers, I believe. The little sculpture stands five or six inches high and has a nice little pen rest on it. I saw one recently, I think it was in Bertram's Inkwell in White Flint, Bethesda, Maryland, just the other day. I thought, I have one of them, too!

 

Really love my Pelikans! :-)

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I have the feeling that I'll be using Pelikan pens for the rest of my days. I'd also love to get hold of one of those charming Pelikan figurines.

I can not see the posted pictures. Does anyone know what settings I should check and change so I will be able to see the images?

They show on your post. Did you wait long enough for them to load?

Thank you for letting me know about the pictures being displayed correctly, even though I can't see them. It is interesting that the pictures show in my post on your computer, but not on mine. So I'm guessing it has something to do with my settings, either for my personal computer or my FPN profile (or however it is refered to in the jargon used by those with more knowledge and experience than I have). I have run into this on a couple of posts, but only a few and older ones at that, so I thought that it might be those pictures had been 'archived' to save space. But of course this thread is recent and other responders obviously could see them.

 

I'll have to dig around and see what my problem is, and hopefully I won't fix any settings that result in more trouble.

 

Thanks again,

Lou

Don't know whether this might help or not, but I couldn't see the images either, from the school where I teach. From home, there's no problem, but apparently some photo sharing sites are blocked by my district.

Given the mother Pelikan's history with her brood, that stand-out red one must be feeling a mite uncomfortable right now.

      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
