Pelikan 100 Cap

[Aus_FP_Enthusiast]

Hi all,

Recently I picked up this Pelikan 100.

It has a brown ink window, gold nib, nib size marked on feed and not on piston knob. The cap has the 'new-style' logo.

I am not entirely sure, but I think the cap currently on this pen may come from a later pen... measurements coming soon along with more photos.

Either way, the lip of the cap is cracked and has some bits missing out of it - would anyone happen to know where I might be able to purchase a good cap with no cracks?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers
BP

Hi,

 

Is the cap celluloid or hard rubber? The cap with new logo might still be correct for a late 1930's Pelikan 100 (1937-39).

 

Good replacement caps are not that easy to find. Finding a parts pen might be the best way to score one. Be sure that you look for a 100 cap (the 100N cap will not fit, as you may know).

Joss,

The cap is hard rubber.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

Cheers
