I bought Pelikan 500 fountain pen with rolled gold cap and turn knob. It looks like every other Pelikan 500 pen but with one difference.


As shown on photos in attachment, instead of Pelikan emblem on top of the cap, there is "NG" engraved.


Does anyone know the reason for this? I know that some companies ordered pens with their logo on top of the cap (Bosch) , and I would like to know is it the same thing with this pen.


Thank You for help :D

NG with the G quite possibly standing for "Gesellschaft" (= Sales, as in the name of a company)

Whether a personalization, company logo or just a replacement jewel - its pretty cool and well done. Nice find. That 500 is absolutely beautiful.

Pelikan would put company logos on the caps of pens made to order. Ive even seen some cap tops with unique engravings. I dont know what ng stands for but suspect it was likely a small company order. Really no way to be definitive short of an invoice turning up. Regardless, great pen. Enjoy it!

Mine has the regular bird.....grumble.....cubed...............someone used it :headsmack: enough that there is no green bird. :( :gaah: :wallbash:....Just joking. I never expected to own a 500...never even looked in they were so 'out of my price range'..............turned out not quite....but I bought on German Ebay.

It did take a hole in my pocket as my grail pen money fell out of it, for that flock of Pelikans to follow me home.

 

I know the width is not nib or pen marked, but what do you guess?

 

Mine looks to be a OBBB with a 30 degree grind...(in maxi..)...a pure signature pen. Takes 2/3rds or 3/4ths a page to write a legal signature. (I can of course nib it with other Pelikan nibs of that era.)

Yours looks like it will write just fine.

What a gorgeous pen. The 500 is a pen that I will have to own some time, but I keep putting off the spend. I could kick myself for not having bought one that needed repair at a very affordable price... so I keep hoping I'll find one on a flea market somewhere.

Too many pens, too little time!

Eventually you may want to lay hands on a bird top, in it might sell for more if you are so foolish to sell it.

      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
