I joined the forum some years ago but fell out of the hobby for many reasons. Over the last year or two I have started to get back into it and thought I would start participating in the board now that I have more time to devote to collecting and enjoying my pens. I mostly lurked in the past, but didn't speak up. I've fallen very much in love with the Pelikan brand. I consider it my favorite of the several I concentrate on.

 

Just thought I would drop in and say hello here in the Pelikan forum itself, and introduce my small flock. It was pen cleaning day today, so they're all nice and squeaky clean. Nice to meet you all!

Welcome back!

 

Your flock may be "small" in numbers, but certainly not in quality!!

Those are some very, very nice pens!! :puddle: :puddle:

 

Enjoy them in good health.

Welcome back and excellent choice in pens. Pelikans are my favorites as well... my oldest M800 is nearly 20 years old and an occasional cleaning and a dab of silicone grease every few years and it still writes like new. Enjoy!!

Dear @pigeonfarm

 

Gorgeous curation! :notworthy1:

Yowsah! so much beauty on wood but the one on cloth looks like a peacock instead of a pelikan :puddle:

 

I know you fell off the hobby but it looks like you can retire in peace with that lovely gem of a collection.

 

I look forward to your future commentary on Pelikan's current offerings and in the future. :thumbup:

You have good taste..............if you don't mind, do think of vintage semi-flex nibs and even the pens that go with them.

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

Small but well curated. Great pens. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.

Nice collection! I believe that the vermeil M450 is one of the most beautiful Pelikans out there. :thumbup:

I love that you are on a perma-mission to evangelise on behalf of vintage pelikan semi-flex! :thumbup: :lol:

All very nice pens. You don't mess around!! I would LOVE to get an M800 tortoise, but they are just too expensive these days -- if you can even find one for sale. Hang on to that one...

Ditto. I couldn't bring myself to buy a M450 tortoise either, though I finally ordered a M400 and D400 White Tortoise set for EDC. Rare, expensive pens make me a bit nervous to carry around.

 

So far my lost pens have been acceptable, rather than capital losses. :blush: Fingers crossed it stays that way.

      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
