Hey everyone- nice to be here! I have been perusing this site for a long time but wanted to introduce myself officially. I'm here in cobb county- seems to be a bit of a pen desert but there's always Ebay & the Atlanta show... I have a few good Pelikans (vintage & new- my favorite pen is a 2013 tortoise 800), an older Omas Extra lucens, & a smattering of vintage user-grade Parkers. Looking to add a Montblanc Jules Verne or Kafka to the collection the next few months Glad to be a part of this great community =) I can't even count how many times I have found an answer to a question that I have had by digging around here! Thanks to all of you guys for your enthusiasm for -and dedication to- this hobby!

The Atlanta Pen Show is two weeks away and in addition to ending my death grip by learning the forefinger-up method, I've spent the last month monitoring sales of Pelikan 140s of various stripes. I've got a budget of $140 (could stretch to $160) and want a daily writer. I want a pen with a medium or broad nib, wet flow, a smooth piston, and a striped barrel (for ink view). Most importantly, I want one in good enough condition so I don't have to have it serviced for at least a couple years, but I have come looking for advice. Oh, wise bird-men (and bird-women) of the board, please answer me these questions three: (1) What should I look for when testing vintage Pelikans, besides nib feel and brassing? (2) If the selection is poor, how do I resist instant gratification and wait for a better one to come along? (3) If you were me, would you be looking at 140s or another breed of bird?
