Does anyone know if the nib on this one will be interchangable with other Pelikan pens (and if so with which model)?

 

Well, the advert notes, "The M101N is the same size as today's Souverän M400", so there's reasonable hope that the nib would be sized in that series' nib type.

 

I really hope that this is the case here!

Niche pens offers it for 295 GBP.

 

Which works out to EUR 350. ;)

 

Hmm....I wonder then if this is the list price. I prefer to wait to get a discount.

I like the design much better than that of the Souveran, but I would wish it to be much larger than the 400.

Hello all! I just received the latest issue of "Shumi-no Bungu Bako" volume 19 and, according to an article on pages 62 and 63, the Pelikan M101N Tortoise-shell Brown is officially available in Japan. It is listed at 50,400 Yen and it is 123mm long capped and 156mm long with cap posted, I believe (I may have translated incorrectly). That makes it about the size of an M400 (a little longer when posted).

 

The pen can be fitted with F, M, B or BB 14K nibs. I think that it's quite a beautiful fountain pen.

 

Regards, Robert

Update today: The Fountain Pen Hospital in New York now lists this model as "in stock" and it sells for U.S. $440 (MSRP U.S. $550). The pen is in the Pelikan "Limited Edition" section of the Website.

      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
