So, Christof, if I didn't know better I would think you are feeling artistic.

Strange pen. How does it write?

Hello:

I bought that pen for its design and for its resemblance to Parker's 180 range. It hasn't really been used, it's NOS, and I haven't inked it. I'm sorry I can't give details about how it writes.

Regards.

Had a pen spa day (🫧🖋️🫧) yesterday, and took a snap of three generations of nibs from the Pelikan 400-series pens:

r/fountainpens - Three generations of nibs from the Pelikan 400-series pens (also, pen spa day) 🫧🖋️

 

From left to right: Early ”script” (or "dotted script", to be more precise) style nib used in the early model 400 pens (1950-1954), then, a ”xmas tree/fir tree/chevron/logo” (yes, many names, that one has) style nib introduced in 1954 used in late-production 400, and the 400N & 400NN models of pens, and finally, a later version of the same used in the very late 400NN (that version of the nib, which left a gap between the chevrons and the nib slit, was produced in 1964, close to the end of production of the 400NN).

 

Oh, yes, they are BB, B, and F, thanks for asking ;)

 

All were received housed in Pelikan 400 (Tortoise, Black-Striped & Green-Striped), some nib swaps must have happened along the way (do also note the different feed in the later nib)...

      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
