Pelikan P200 & P205

[Soer]

Heyy Guys,

 

Anyone here knows if these new cartridge Pelikan P200 & P205 can use the M200 or M400 nibs????

If so its very interesting . :D

There are a couple of threads on this topic if you search. I did see one report though that the nibs were not going to be interchangeable but i don't have a definitive source on this. We'll have to wait and see I guess. IMHO, that would be a bad move for Pelikan.

Here's from a thread on Pentrace;

"

While having a look to Pelikan's page on the P200, I read a couple of sentences which, if I understood them right, are saying that P200 nib units are not compatible with the older piston filler nib units.

"Um die Patrone zu tauschen, wird der Füllhalter vorne am Ring aufgeschraubt."

No surprise here; it says that you must unscrew the pen at the ring to access the cartridge housing.

"Dieses Vorderteil wird auch in seiner Gesamtheit getauscht, wenn ein Federwechsel gewünscht wird."

Now, here's the catch. The sentence literally says that this forward piece will be exchanged in its entirety if you wish to change the nib.

So, it seems that the P200 doesn't use the M200 nib unit, but an integral nib+section unit, with the nib firmly attached to the section.

Regards.

It seems to me that for a cart you need a way to pierce it, and the screw-in nib units do not possess the pointed end for this, and I can't see a way to get the feed to pull in the ink.

_{I agree, I don't think we'll be able to interchange with the M2xx nibs. Here's a link to the Pelikan site for the P200/205 that describes the pens and available nibs:}

They might not be doing it, but it's certainly possible. Thinking of the Esterbrook Safari and the Sheaffer Tip-Dip Cadet; one can rig a section with an extension off the back end and an accommodation for a screw-in point/feed unit. The Cadet's extension was the mounting for a sac and protector, but the Safari appeared in a cartridge-using variant. I can't believe Pelikan is technically incapable of designing a section like this, when Esterbrook (and I beleive even Platignum, back in the day) managed it. Which allows us to turned upraised eyebrows of unspoken accusation at Pelikan, I think.

As fas I know a C/C nib's feed has a nipple in wich the converter or cartdridge fits in, so in might not be interchangeable.

Or there would be an special feed with the nipple.

When will they be available in US?

In Spain it is available already, so I think it is too in US. I have seen it here P200.
