Good morning from Lithuania,

 

I always was curious how many different versions on cap top Pelikan 100 N has..and how their were modified during the years. Most information I found on great werner ruttinger site. Collecting my pels, I try to get the caps with different imprints, colors. And this was funny. :) I almost sure that in these photos not all versions and if you found missing one, please update.

So, from the left:

- WW II period black 100N with most common "Pelikan Patent Pelikan Patent", around the cap.

- Export version black pen 100N with "Germany Pelican Gunther Wagner" around the cap.

- Grey 100 N with white "Pelikan Pelikan Pelikan" around the cap.

- Gdansk version green 100N with "Pelikan D.R.P Pelikan D.R.P"

- Pre war version black 100 N with "Pelikan GERMANY D.R.P Pelikan GERMANY D.R.P" around the cap.

- latest period green-blue 100N with small imprint "Gunther Wagner Germany Pelikan 100N" around the cap.

I only have one, a near mint Somegi. Like your right cap mine has no imprint, much less in 'colors'.

Very nice pictures :thumbup: , and I didn't know there were so many 'versions' of them.

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

A 100 or 100N is not in the budget for me, sadly.

But I did contact Pelikan a few years ago to try and narrow down the date range for a couple of more modern pens (1990s era M400 and M200) and was told that they tend to change stuff like the logo (as to number of chicks, etc.) and trim (such as number of cap rings) about every seven years.

You can find post war 100N for quite reasonable prices from ebay.de, sometimes in decent shape for as low as a tad below 100€, you just might need to hunt for one for a while though (I know because I hunt for bargains) ;). Of course shipping etc. on top of that but... not that bad considering what you get especially with post war 100N, usually good to go with a light clean up.

 

100 & pre war 100N are a trickier bunch and thus I tend to stay away from them (unless found very, very cheap and in good shape).

 

A 100 or 100N is not in the budget for me, sadly.

"PELIKAN PATENT GERMANIA" is a correct imprint for an Italian made (Milano production) Pelikan 100N.

 

And in the 'Pelican' imprint series there is also "PELICAN GERMANY D.R.P."

      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
