Hello And A Pelikan Ballpoint Barrel Replacement Question!

Hello Everyone:

I have been a fountain pen user and collector for almost 30 years. A big fan of all types of Parker pens, with a Rainbow-Cap Parker 61 as my "daily driver", (washable blue ink) alternating with a Montblanc No. 12 (brown ink). which makes my notebooks multi-colored!

However, I also am attached to my Pelikan ballpoing that I bought, duty free in Amsterdam airport years ago. I recently made the great mistake of dropping it (point-down) on the cement floor of my garage, and broke-off the metal tip from the lucite barrel. "Glue" repairs have not held, and I definitely need to find a new (black) barrel of compatible type. Does anyone have any advice as to where to find such?

 

Thanks and looking forward to being part of the group!

 

Best

Welcome !

 

Useful address for Parker lovers.

Sorry, I don't have ideas on repair of Pelikan Ballpoing things.

However, it is a good time to replace it with a fountain pen. Pelikan makes great ones.

Hello and Welcome to FPN!! Glad to have you as a member!!

 

You might contact Chartpac to see if they can help with a replacement barrel. Rick Propas (the penguin) may also be able to help.

I'd check with Chartpak, the US distributor of Pelikan.

Sorry for your pen's misfortune. I would start by contacting Chartpak who handles Peikan's repairs. They don't repair but rather replace and even if they did have a replacement barrel, an out of warranty repair might prove pricey. You could check eBay. You might get lucky and find one for cheap. It's not likely that you'll find just a replacement barrel for sale but I guess it's not impossible either. Looks like a K600 to me. Is that correct? Good luck getting it sorted.

I've had good luck with Chartpak fixing pens without charge even when out of warranty.

      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
