Vtg Pelikan 100N Fountain Pen Flex 14K Gold Fine Point Nib Fluted Trim Green
Please enlarge all 12 photos & read all the text for detail. Quite Good vintage & functional condition, 1930s-40s, Some light honest wear, But an overall , very clean bright and attractive Pen :- The Pen has a good inner piston & the piston filler works perfectly – it is obvious thet the piston is used, but it seals well and does not leak, the ink tank is nice & clear, The cap threads on & posts perfectly , The gold tone trim has some patina but is very bright, No brassing that I see , Very sturdy pocket clip, 2 tight cap bands , No Cracks, No warp, Very pretty green pearl, the pen is 4 & 13/16″ capped & a full 6 & 5/16″ posted. The parts of this pen are quite nice – the fluted trim (clip & band) are very nice. The pen cap is marked “GUNTHER WAGNER PELIKAN” with a nice “Pelikan” Bird logo on the top of the cap. Very nice 14K Gold Fine Point nib with excellent iridium tipping, easy flex , Nice profile , Flexing from very fine to 1.5mm possible with out over flexing, moderately easy flex you will still have control for every day writing with a little more expression when desired. BUT – the problem I encountered was… At first it wrote and flexed beautifully, then it would railroad & then it would have to much ink flow & it even dripped ink… All this can be noticed in the 2 writing samples – I cleaned it filled it & tried again… And it did the same thing… But perhaps a different ink would help.. The pen was actually filled with ink to make this writing sample, The Paper is from a Rhodia Dotpad No. 16, the dots are 5mm apart to help you gauge the line variation. The writing sample will come with the pen. The item “Vtg Pelikan 100N Fountain Pen Flex 14K Gold Fine Point Nib Fluted Trim Green” is in sale since Thursday, March 14, 2019.
