I have an older Pelikan 120, all black, with a cracked section and it leaks! Don't know how it happened but would like to either get it repaired or replaced. Who does this sort of thing?

That is a pity! And quite strange as the section has a screw-in nib unit which is not supposed to stress the section. So a crack in the section is not often seen in these pens.

To my knowledge it is nearly impossible to remove the section from the barrel of a Pelikan 120 (or 140 or 400) without cracking either one (or both).

Simpler is trying to find a replacement barrel but I guess that you will pay as much for that as for a complete pen.

 

If it is an all black 120, I guess that it is a Merz & Krell Pelikan 120? It looks like this one:

Pelikan made two pens designated as 120. The one pictured was made by Merz und Krell, a company that made pens under the Senator name as well as contract work for the later Pelikan 120 and 400NN.

      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
