Pelikan MK10

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to remove the piston of a Pelikan MK10?

 

If so, how does it come out and what's in there?

 

Are there any exploded drawings/photos of this pen?

 

Any advice gratefully received.

Sorry for late reply.

 

Exploded photo of MK10 is here.

Use 7.5mm thin wrench to remove the piston.

Please remember it is reverse threaded.

Apply the wrench properly and turn clockwise as if you are tightening a screw.

 

φ1.0mm screw tool will make it easy to pull out the nib/feed.

 

 

Hope this photo will make some use for somebody.

 

 

 

regards,

I disassembled one without a wrench 😉 Just an elastic band wrapped around the place where the wrench would go and turn clockwise!

My wrench is hand made.

 

I happened to have a thin steel nut-splitter(I don't know the correct name).

Using a rod type file, I made 7.5mm mouth on it.

 

Elastic band method by fcarbon is a good idea.

Fully advance the piston by turning the knob counterclockwise, then the rubber magic will work.

Elastic band will not scratch the pen, It's a great advantage of this method.

Since the topic of piston wrench has come up: does the type of wrench used to unscrew the piston units of modern Pelikan M800 and M1000 pens also fit correctly to unscrew piston units of the M/MK series of vintage Pelikans? Same size, or different? If it's the same size of wrench, that type of wrench is sold by many of the usual pen repair supply shops.

      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
