Ah...Pelikan pens.
I agree. These are great pens.
I own more Pelikan fountain pens than I am comfortable mentioning. I too am a lawyer and consistently write notes with a fountain pen.
The M800 is a consistent work horse. My favorite is the M800 tortoiseshell with a median nib that I had custom stubbed. Of course I have three others with different finishes.
I also love the softness of my M1000 with a fine nib.
I have found that these pens are consistently excellent, with wonderful quality control.

Yes. I was really surprised by the softness in the M-1000 nibs and fell in love with them too.

Where does one send a Pelikan 800 for repair? I have a wonderful one that I bought new many years ago, but now it will not draw in into the barrel.

Greetings, dbwilson65, and welcome to FPN!

 

I am fairly new here myself, but what I have found is that, as Internet chat fora go, this place is full of really friendly and helpful people who love to answer these kinds of questions...

 

If you want to do some snooping around to find information on pen repair, this might be a good place to start. It is the "Repair Q&A" forum right here on FPN

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/forum/21-repair-qa/

 

Otherwise, if you are in the US you can also try to contact Chartpak, the local Pelikan distributor for repair advice (warning: this can be hazardous to you wallet).

 

Contact Us

Address: Chartpak, Inc.
1 River Road
Leeds, MA 01053
Phone: 800-628-1910
OR
I am sure someone else will chime in soon with some good ideas/advice.
Again, welcome to FPN, and we're glad you are here!

      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
