Looking for a sterling silver Pelikan


mercurius

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a sterling silver Pelikan and I am wondering what the options are. The only one I've found to date is the M 730 which seems to come up quite rarely. Can anyone please point me towards a resource that might give me this information?

 

For UK residents, can you recommend any good and reliable secondhand Pelikan dealers that might have such pens?

 

Many thanks!

Apart the Toledos, it seems to me that at this time Pelikan does not offer any sterling pen, so you are limited to NOS or used ones. Models that you should search for are M750, M730, M710, M420, M425, M430, M625.

 

There are also model in vermeil (gold plated silver), here are some models: M450, M650, M760, M850, plus the vintage 500 and 500NN.

 

With the eception of the M750 and M760, all the models will have only the cap and in some case the blind cap in silver.

 

Ah and then there are the models in M7000 Majesty range.

Thanks, Alfredo, that's really very helpful.

 

So disappointed that when they made the M750 and M760, they spoiled them with that unnecessary extra bit of bling by using the gold fittings!

Hello, @mercurius, @alfredop.

I'm afraid that not all the pens listed above are in sterling silver.

For example, M750 is in silver plated brass, not sterling silver.

 

Before buying used pens, you might want to refer to Werner's Info-Page Pelikan-Pens and many other sources for correct information😊.

Please visit my website Modern Pelikan Pens for the latest information. It is updating and correcting original articles posted in "Dating Pelikan fountain Pen".

Or Pelikan Charlotte/ Pelikan Marguerite issued in 2002. These M800/M1000 chasis pens are in silver sterling.

      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
