Vintage 120 Question

[sargetalon]

I'll have to pull the nibs again to show you, but basically the pens are identical to any other 120 or 140 - until you try to unscrew the nib.

The feeds are the same as those on the normal screw in nibs.

I should imagine they were manufactured about the same time as they did the 400 with push fit nibs.

 

I would love to see pics of the nibs and collars at some point if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!

 

 

I bought a Pelikan 120 student pen (original 50s release) many many moons ago. I still have it but it's no longer the same pen. The last time I dropped it, the cap multiplied in several pieces. I had it replaced with a 140 cap bought from eBay. I have also replaced the the original nib with an M150 gold plated broad nib. I still use the pen as one of my everyday carry. Love this pen. What model do I have now?

 

120 body + (140 cap - 120) + (150 nib - 120) = Pelikan Model 170. Frankenpen though it may be, doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it.
