Stormtroopers

[phillieskjk]

I have recently become enamored with the black clip white pen look of the famous "Stormtrooper" Pelikan M100. What other pens have white bodies and black clips?

Darth Vader and The Pelikan M100 Stromtrooper.

 

Waiting for the answer too.

How about the White Vanishing point with black trim and a black nib!! Maybe I can pull mine out and photograph it...

There is a Cross Townsend Stormtrooper fountain pen.

 

I would have thought Stormtroopers would use biros, as they have no finesse and can't hit a barn door.

There is a white Lamy Safari with a black clip and nib.

Pelikan Pelikano models came in white with black nibs in 1988, 1989, and 1996 that I can tell. This one is my StormCadet from 1989 with the M100 StormTrooper.

Not according to OhBeWan in the first StarWars.

 

"These hits are too precise ... only imperial stormtroopers are so accurate."

Or something like that.

 

BUT . . . having seen Luke and company, get away without major loss of life, in the MANY fire fights, backs up YOUR statement.

There's a white Pelikano on ebay as we speak. Search "pelikano white", 2 days left on auction.

I see two white/black Pelikan M100's on Ebay now - one of which claims to be never inked. Sadly they want quite a bit over list price for the pen when it was new which takes me out of the running. It is a cool looking pen.

[chromantic]

Yeah, also a used M100 Stormtrooper, currently @ $61, 3d16hr left.

1980s Waterman (Jif 2?).

Obi-Wan was English. He was probably being sarcastic.

That's the Jiffie, I believe - the model between the JIF and the JIF 2. I have 3 of them and am constantly on the look-out for more.

Thanks. It was a stationery shop purchase - no name or packaging. Good to be able to put a name to it.

 

I also have a black one with a yellow clip and a disintegrated section. (Apparently not designed to withstand years of bottle filling.)

^^ catbert - I forgot to say "That pen is AWESOME!!!".

 

My three are black with orange clip, black with sky blue clip and dark blurple with pink clip. The blue one's nib is gold-colored, rather than the plain steel.

[OmegaMountain]

Anybody have a lead on where to grab one of those old white Pekikanos? That's a pretty little pen.

[chromantic]

The one white P450 that was on ebay seems to have sold as it's no longer listed. You might check there a couple times a week - just search "pelikano", there's usually only 3 pages of them to wade through and iirc I've seen white ones on occasion. (I have 2 pinks and a blue, myself.)

 

The white M100 is still sitting @ $61, 1d6h left now.
