Pelikan Leather Cases

[jaytaylor]

My first Pelikan case was supplied with my first modern Pelikan the M805, it is the leather single pen model and fits the M800 with ease, it can also accomodate the M1000.

 

From this I picked up the leather two pen model on my purchase of my second modern Pelikan, the M815. My intention was to carry both my M800s in the two pen case however things were not as I expected.

 

The two pen case is tiny, barely fitting an M800 without it pushing the central divider over encroaching on the void for a second pen. This is the narrowest modern two pen case I've seen and there is no chance of fitting two M800's.

 

At best I can fit one M800 and a narrow Mont Blanc 164P to serve my ball point needs.

 

It's a great case, very well made and clearly of a high quality, I just wish it were wider and able to fit two modern sized pens.

 

My question for anyone who has the three pen model, what size pens will it accomodate with ease?

I'm hoping the pen slots are wider than the two pen model.

 

My last question, is the vintage Pelikan case shown contemporary to the mid 1950s Pelikan 400 and 450 pencil?

 

Thanks.

My 3 pen case can accommodate 3 M1000s therefore M8xx models fit fairly easily. The leather can stretch a bit to accommodate. I do think the 3 pen case is a little roomier than the 2 pen case. The other pen case you show looks to be from the 1980s and would not be contemporary to the 400/450. It can be found in the 1988 catalog under model name TL 21, product number 974 014.

Many thanks for an excellent response, much appreciated. Now to order the 3 pen case with confidence.
