It's Sunday afternoon and I was fiddling with my M800 tortoise and thought of frankening it with a different cap.

 

Here goes how it looks like..

And now with its original junior sibling - unfranken M450 tortoise pen..

Enjoy the photos and have a good weekend!

Tombstone Extremely Rare

Thanks for posting - especially the last picture wih the "original".

 

Because when I saw the first pictures I thought "hmmm, looks good, but something's missing... what the hell ist missing..."

 

At the end I saw it - it's the golden knob for the piston.

 

In any case based on the brown color of the body the difference in reality might not be that big...

There are no facts, there is no truth - just a data to be manipulated...

Looks alright. Actually, the normal M450 in black and green striated have normal filler knobs, as well as M1050 etc.

 

Daeng, my old style 'M650' is on it's way; Franken M600 old style and M450 cap. I had similar thoughts as the above. Fun times :-) I will post it here if you don't mind.

No mine is just the old M400, not the M415. No ring on the filler knob as you can see, nor on the section. Monotone old style 14C. Engraved cap top logo.

Three silver / vermeil cap of M430, M450 - black & M450 - tortoise.

Daeng, If it is not too much hassle, could you please tell me how many chicks on the cap top logo of each cap? Especially on the 450 black and the tortoise... Because I'm trying to date my pen, sold as M450 which should have only one chick, but it has two on the logo..

Hi Tony

 

If you are referring to the correct version of M450 vermeil tortoise (with gold knob), mine has one chick while for the M450 vermeil black, the logo has two chicks.

 

I understand for M450 vermeil tortoise, it was not an issue to have one or two chicks as it was around that year, if I am not mistaken in 2003, the pelikan mum gobbled one chick. So Pelikan might have issued two logos for M450 vermeil tortoise at that time. Same applies to M400 white tortoise, where some buyer might get two or one chick logo.

 

However, for the M450 vermeil black, the logo should have 2 chicks. This souverän range of vermeil black was introduced for M350, M450, M650, M850 and M1050. Again if I am not mistaken this range was introduced in the year 1998/1999.

 

P/s Pelikan guru, please correct me if I am wrong.

      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
