Pelikan Mystery Nib

Hi folks

 

Can anyone help to identify this mystery nib? It is about the size of a pelikan 140 nib. It is slightly smaller than an M200 nib. The nib collar looks modern though and can fit in 140 and M200 barrel.

Thanking in advance for the insight.

 

Best regards

Thanks for your reply Alfredo. But this nib looks very different than the new M120 nib. The former spotted a 14c gold nib.

Sorry I've not noted the fact that the nib is gold.

Since it is smaller than a M200 nib, and moreover it is a gold nib, it could be the nib of some M300 special edition, but this is just a speculation.

Oh, this is a tough one. I feel like I've seen this nib before but can't place it. Based on the feed and monotone color of the nib, I suspect you're looking for something made in the 1980s or 1990s. What speical edition though is beyond me but I'd anticipate something based off of the M4xx.

Ah Ha!.

I've two Celebry pens and they never seemed to screw out or want too....so I never really tried to do so. I have a gold and a steel nib....both seem to be F nibs and are equal.

 

The golden rule of fountain pens is do not use a bigger hammer....especially when the pen works flawlessly.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Hi,

 

it's a Celebry nib on an M400/M200 feed. Probably bought on ebay? There is a seller who's building pens and nibs from different spare parts... original Pelikan parts but not in the original manner.

Thanks for the insight. Another added knowledge here.

Great ID Dominic! All makes sense now.

      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
