Picture is great! Wild life photography is inherently difficult.

Good Lord! Last year, I bought an M200 cognac with an EF nib to try out. Now, I am the owner of an M100, an M205, and a pair of 140s! Where do these birds spring from? I'm waiting for the 140s in the mail. The M100 is off getting its damaged nib fixed. And my Dad is using the M205 while I play with his M1000.

My newest one!

 

 

 

A Pelikan 100 from circa 1932/33 clip-less. It is said that for every 10 pens Pelikan sent to the retailers they would send also 2 rings so the stores could swap the clip for the ring if the client wanted a clip-less pen.

 

I bet that not much have survived the years! The ebonite has that chocolate colour I like so much and adds character to the pen that I´ll keep it as is and not re-black it.

Nice!

 

...but the cap should have two vent holes. Sorry for saying this.

Cap and section changed in mid 33 according to the "Pelikan Schreingarate" so this is probably a transition pen. If they still had parts, they would not trough them away, they would probably use it (hence the section)

I have spare 2 hole caps I could use but I´ll keep this original as I received it. Even the patina is homogeneous throughout the pen making me believe it was produce like this in 1933.

I think the duck is in the state of confusion ???

Ahhh. Must be a neighbor of mine then. I probably pass him on my daily commute.

How do you like my new pen?

It is in original condition, unrestored!

I was allowed to pick the pen up after a few emails and a nice phone call.

Eeven if it cost money I wouldn´t say it was a purchase because the feeling of having this pen in the hands is like a gift.

[piscov]

Fantastic pen, a first year Pelikan!! and it looks in really great condition, the colour of the sleeve is awesome. Congratulations!!

[Christopher Godfrey]

Gorgeous, dnic! I assume it was a wartime-issue (no cap bands)?

[dnic]

Hi Christopher,

 

no, that pen is from 1929! For the first year there was no cap rings, but frequently the caps got broken, so in 1930 the caps got additional rings for stabilization.

At the war time the cap itself was made from another material (plastic), so it wasn´t an issue to omit the cap bands and save that material.

I just received my first Pelikan in the mail! It's nothing fancy, just a blue M600 with M nib. I can see why people love these pens so much, the nib is like butter!
