Yes. I do. :)

Cutting the green off the first one. The binde was split at the end, so we were really doing a good thing. :)20150530_150748.jpg?w=700

 

Cut most of the blue binde off the second one. This one was stained a little but otherwise fine.I cut down so far and was able to just peel it off with my fingernail. Very neat!

The parts. I cut the binde by itself on a special holder that I made. I test fit on the Pel barrel at the very end, and then to make sure the cap will post on the back.

Time for final sanding at the end.

Messing with the factory appearance is not for me as I'm a purist at heart but that first picture especially is very beautiful. Great work. Thanks for sharing!

I actual prefer the second one. Makes me sort of think of of malachite.

So what are the bindes actually made of (please don't say Con-tact paper... :blush:)?

It's called malachite actually. :)

 

And no - there's no contact paper. The original celluloid sleeve was cut off and replaced with a new one. The lizard skin is a vintage celluloid, and the other one is called trustone.

Hey peeps… I admit this is mine. Here are some photos of the original M800 binde. Pen is a little worn but otherwise fine… Bought cheap on eBay for this experiment with Shawn, who I turned to after not getting any responses from Chris Burton. Shawn has been awesome to deal with on this. He’s got an M805 of mine that has stained binde material that we are doing a similar treatment to, but with a different vintage celluloid (cellulose acetate).

Both stunning pens! I initially thought you had discovered some rare prototype pens.

The lizard one is particularly nice in my eyes, I wish Pelikan would produce a similar model.

Let me be the first to say that such a treatment on 1930's or 40's vintage red tortoise 100, or a Toledo would be sacrilege (because, you know, for those pens the binde is the thing) but when you consider how many all black, 400/600/800 Pelikans there are in this world, ... well then, why not? Unless you are that rare person who thinks an all black Pelikan pen is the most beautiful think you could possibly imagine then I think it is reasonable to look at modifications such as these and ask your self, why not? You can have an unique pen which speaks to your heart, and knocks your eye out, remember the pen is for you. The world of FP's will be no worse for r the loss of a few black pens.

 

Think about all the hot rods you haves seen in your life, and they aren't making '40 ford coupes anymore, but tomorrow Pelikan will pump out another 1,482 black pens, just like they did yesterday.

 

in case it is not obvious, I approve, within the limits I have suggested. I have my own custom Binde Pelikan M600 and I love it.

This is not a very good photo (and Shawn, I hope you don't mind me showing some of Chris's work) but here is a M1000 I had Chris do in the Sheaffer modern tigereye many years ago.

      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
