So how many Pelikan FPs do you now own?

[KiwiJack]

Hi,

 

I find myself a proud owner of four Pelikan FPs--that's 4 pens in just over 6 weeks. I think I caught the Pelikan Acquisition Syndrome. Anyway, just curious to how many Pelikans you have in your private collection? By the way, I might have my 5th on the way--the Piazza Navona FP!

none here. :ph34r:

 

:bonk:

 

I envy you.

Yes Jack, I too seem to be in the acute phase of Pelikan Acquisition Syndrome (PAS). In the last few months I've acquired:

• M75 Go
  
• M200
  
• Vintage M400
  
• M620 (Piccadilly Circus)
  
• M1000
  
• And an M800 on the way (Maybe today :)9 )
  

I hope the chronic phase will reduce this rate considerably.

Ummm... what are they?

[Dillo]

Hi,

 

 

Ok, I have one M200, an M300, and a L65, and MC120. I hope to have a Silver Level 5 for investigation and close questioning soon.

Two Pelikan Go! pens (M75) one with an italic nib. Love them both.

[Elaine]

Those Pelikans do sneak up on you.

 

A few M75's

M400 - Green Stripe

M200 with Tortoise Binder nib

400NN Tortoise

M300 - green stripe

 

and my brand new M320!!! B'day present from my brother. Just got it back from Chartpak for a nib exchange. Didn't even ink it yet!! Trying to decide what ink. Leaning towards Noodler's Cayenne.

Ain't that the truth...

 

I've tried to assemble a representative selection of modern and vintage Pelikans, with the oldest a 1929 first year pen (pre-100) and the newest (on order) a Rossi 800N (although that one's not technically a Pelikan).

[Inkanthropist]

Just the one at the moment (a humble black M200 that's been taken to new levels by a Pelikan calligraphy nib). But it's my birthday before too long, and I'm hoping for a white/tortoiseshell M400. If anyone asks, I'll just have to say that KCat's avatar drove me to it.

M200 green marble

M200 blue marble old style (Yeah! Thanks, Griz)

M200 grey marble old style

M200 Telekom grey and magenta marble old style

M120 solid black - 1950/60s school pen

M400 blue stripe

M400 White Tortoise

M600 Piazza Navona

 

wow - how'd that happen?

 

of these - i think the White torty is the most striking with the Piazza Navona at a close second. But I love them all.

Along the way I've sold an M250 blue/black which was nice but too conservative for me. And recently sold an M200 green translucent after a couple of years of thinking about it. Perfectly good pen - just didn't seem to find its way into my hand often enough to justify keeping it. So - i have eight but could have had 10. oh, and I have a Future somewhere! I've actually considered selling the 120 but it's the only vintage Pel I have so until a 100 or 400 falls in my lap, I suspect I won't sell it.

I've got two M200s (one amber, one red)

A M320 (with a Mottshaw'd flexible cursive italic - I am *so* in love with this pen.)

A 1950's 140

A Pelikan Steno (that got dropped and needs to go to someone to get smoothed back out, but it's not a high priority)

 

.. I think that's it.

Though I have the feeling that I'm probably forgetting one.

My Pels in the order accumulated:

M200 - I lost this one :blink: :bonk:

M250 - I pretty much ruined this one trying to fix the nib :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:

M400 white tortoise - traded this to Apollo

M800 red with EF nib - love it!

M605 blue - off to Chris Burton for a binde

M800 green - off to Richard for stubbery

100N - off to Chris Burton for a binde

Right now . . . . :blink: none :blink: . Just call me "heretic."

 

Had 3 - two M200s which I sold as they were too small for me and weren't getting used and an M800 that I just never seemed to bond with. All were great pens.

[Blorgy]

One M200

One M800

Two Level L5 Ceramics

Three M75 Go

Three M1000

Ten Level 65

[petra]

I have:

 

200 old-style silver/gray marble

 

200 newer-style sea green marble (which my mother will get this weekend. She grew up writing with FP's in Germany, and after watching me obsess over pens has decided she'd like one for letter writing! A new/old convert!)

 

400 green stripe (a present from my mom after her trip to Germany last autumn)

What a difference the gold broad nib makes! :)9

 

***A plug here, for the GREAT customer service at Chartpack Pelikan repair! The gray 200 just came back with a new piston mechanism, no charge for anything, and the turnaround was less than a week!!! They even replaced a gold ring that was missing from the filler cap. Another reason why Pel-owners are so happy!

I love the way they write. The Pelikan pens are beautiful, reliable, smooth writing works of art.
