Mana, so sorry to hear your tale of woe! I am hoping that you find your pen among her baggage. Even if it isn't the <best> pen in your collection, it's still a crying shame...I'd be very sore, myself! ;^(

Bad photo but this is a Pelikan M400 Old Style Green Stripes, marked W. Germany with a Broad nib. Came in today and I find it very nice...

I found a Pelikan 400 in a box in the garage. EF 14k 585 nib. Currently inked up with Lamy Blue Black.

 

Hey! The drill is "Pix or it didn't happen!"

You found a 400 in the *garage*? I'm soooo moving to your neighborhood.... All of my small flock were off of eBay, including the Café Crème -- one of my few pens of *any* brand with anything wider than an M -- which I lost last March (from Rolf Thiel's eBay store) and its IM nibbed replacement (an astounding bit of luck -- why someone was (1) selling it; and (2) nobody outbid me on it; so (3) I got it for less money than I paid for the one I lost are questions which defy description). Not that I'm complaining of course....

Even the M100 was a fair amount more in price than "found in the garage"! Totally jealous here. I'm pretty sure that would definitely put you in the running for "sumgai of the month".... That's an awesome find.

Just arrived on Monday. My second bird. It's an M200 with a steel nib tuned by Linda Kennedy. Do two Pelikans make a flock?

Someone got inspired by the template of Mr. Binder...

Yes, Linda Kennedy was trained by Richard Binder. I bought from her because I have bought too many pens in the past that needed tuning in order to write properly. She tunes all the pens sold on Indypendance's website before shipping them out. I was able to specify that I wanted a certain flow, and she delivered exactly what I asked for. I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase.

I was able to get a replacement M200 B nib from her at the Triangle Pen Show in June. I had pretty much given up hope and was going to Plan B, which was to have the IM firehose nib tweaked a bit in order to control the flow (it was a gusher even with iron gall inks). As it turned out, I was able to do both -- get the IM nib worked on, *and* get a nicely tuned B nib at the same time.

And the day before Mike Kennedy serviced a newly bought Parker Vacumatic Green Shadow Wave for me. Now I have to figure out what to put in *that* pen to get it back in rotation (he started it out with Waterman Mysterious Blue, but I already had that in the Red Shadow Wave -- and I ask you: what's the fun of having all these pens if they all have the same ink in them? :lol:

Thank you for the info... I tried to look for it on their webpage but couldn't find it.

Are you looking for how to specify how you would like the pen tuned? You do that during checkout. There's a place for you to write some comments. Just describe your writing preferences. That's what I did.

      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
