Question About 2 Pelikan Nibs

[Larry Barrieau]

I have these two nibs for Pelikan pens which I would like to sell. But I don't know which Pelikan pens they might fit. The smaller one with the broader nib came in a vial that said "Italic OM" To give better information when I put them up on ebay, can anyone help ID the possible Pens they might work in? Thank you.

On the left: looks like a steel nib that would fit m150/m2xx/m4xx/m6xx size as well as vintage 1/140/4xx (and maybe others). The nibs likely tp come from a m200.

 

On the right: not sure, I would venture a nib coming from a calligraphy pen, possibly without tipping, but again I am not sure. Many more knowledgeable people will be specific I have no doubt.

[Larry Barrieau]

Thank you. Anyone know what the broader nib would fit?

Why not stick them in the Classifieds on here?

[Larry Barrieau]

That's a good question Chrissy. One reason is that I don't know what they are worth and so I might overprice them or underprice them. Another is that Ebay has a wider net to throw, so more eyes will be on it and the price will be determined by the buyer. I admit that there are pitfalls in both methods.

possibly a Pelikan 120 Merz & Krell nib ?

[OCArt]

The one on the right is definitely from a Pelican 120. If the threads fit a modern 200/400 then it is NOT a Merz and Krell.

possibly a Pelikan 120 Merz & Krell nib ?

 

Which is what I was thinking. Because they were not manufactured by Pelikan the nib collar and thread are different too.

 

 

 

If the threads fit a modern 200/400 then it is NOT a Merz and Krell.

 

The one on the right won't. You can see that the pitch is finer, and the threads themselves longer. Pelikan did make some 400 collars out of plastic, but the material used is a bit different than the M&K.

Thanks very much everyone.
