Hello out there,

a 100N worth to be shown around, I think:

 

Made in Germany for the Italian market. Cap top is accordingly imprinted GERMANIA - and as a special detail, the nib shows a different imprint, which is very much like Italian nibs were imprinted at that time.

The pen is a very early version of the 100N, with hard rubber cap and barrel, and grip section as well from hard rubber.

The pen is restored to full working condition, cap bands still very good with only minimal signs of brassing.

Barrel is the early amber color version, with a perfectly kept inkwindow. I fully diasassembled the pen to bring it back to full working order, fit a fresh cork seal. Thats fun, but also driving you mad, as the risk is, the barrel breaks, when disassembling the pen.

 

Enjoy the pics:

Regard s

Tom,

 

How cool! Clearly not one of the postwar Milano pens but something different. What style is the captop logo?

 

Rick

 

Dear Rick,

 

no, this must be one from the time before Pelikan Milano received the Hard Rubber machining tools from Hannover (because they stopped working Hard rubber there). That happened in 1939.

 

cap top logo is the empty nest already, just two babies - the new logo.

 

Best regards

Tom

There's no fun without some risk... :)

 

Thank you for sharing Tom, ciao.

Tom,

 

I thought that the hard rubber machinery went to Milano after the war. Regardless, from the look of this pen it must be around 1939. I've seen the "Germania" imprint before, and have one, I think, but the nib gold content logo is waaay beyond cool.

Hey Tom

 

A super find. I especially like the Italian style nib. One the advantages of living in Italy (apart from the good food, weather and scenery!)

 

I have the accompanying pencil with the Germania imprint (and I also have one with the Milano imprint).

Very nice pencil. So if you find one with the "Wien" imprint, you get to keep it, right?. :lol:

The ban set by my other half is only on keeping lots of duplicates so I think a Wien imprinted pencil would be a keeper ! I do however have two NOS examples of the Germania so one will need to go... ;-)

      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
