Pelikan Size Comparison

[Jeph]

There was a mention about using a 140 unposted in another thread. Instead of derailing that one, I posted these pictures here.

I could not fit that many pens into my light box, so the pictures are pretty poor quality. You should still be able to see the relative sizes.

My 100 nib has been donated to naother project and the 130 (Ibis) had an incorrect nib. Also note that the M400 is actually a Franken400 with all sorts of mixed parts.

Thanks. Looks like the 120 and 140 are the same.

120 and 140 are exactly the same size. Just the 140's came with gold nibs and the 120's with steel. They may be exceptions.

Jeph, this is a wonderful visual aid. Thanks a lot. I've saved the images to my Pelikan file for future reference.

Whats the section girth of the 140 vs the 400 vs the 600? I can't seem to tell from pictures.
