So how many Pelikans do you have?

[Empty_of_Clouds]

None, never seen one, unlikely to ever see one. Sucks, don't it?

[stub]

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF Empty_of_Clouds HAS ANY PELIKANS?

Haven't got one, haven't even ever seen one. Probably never will.

What do you think the chances are of me ever even seeing one here?

None. Never seen a Pelikan, unlikely to ever see one either.

None. I've never seen a Pelikan pen. Unlikely to either, here.

That's the problem with long threads AND not reading through the whole damn thing every time!

And yes, I have no Pelikans!

[Denizzz]

Right now 1 have 5, but it probably will grow up to 8 in the nearest future.

Just one. A red Pelikano P480 with a Fine nib that isn't as fine as I'd like.

I dream that one day I will be able to afford a Souveran. Not sure which model would suit me best, nor which nib size I'd want, but I figure I have plenty of time to work those details out

Have you ever considered getting into the writing equipment import business? Clearly there is a gap in the antipodean market

Just got my latest, yesterday. M400 Brown Tortoise EF nib. A real gem and I'm using Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown in it. An ink I originally thought was a bit pale but it looks pretty good to me now!

Just got my first "True Grey" Pelikan 100N. It has a whopping BB+ nib. I am in love! It is my second 100N with a BB/BBB nib, really lovely albeit not that useful as daily writers... oh but who cares.

I just bought a Souverän M400 Tortoiseshell Brown with an extra-fine nib to commemorate the birth of my son. I never saw the draw to Pelikans when I was first getting into fountain pens, but have wanted one for a while after going further down the rabbit hole of the FP world. I am not disappointed and think I need more of them😄. I absolutely love this pen🖋❤️

Welcome to the club! And as you can see by this thread we all love pictures of our Pelikans... (hint, hint)

Thats how I started, but I have since found out that I much prefer write with the 400 size model. I do so love the Pelikan rabbithole

[Monkey]

I only have two, and one of them is a Twist, lmao. The other is the Aquamarine M205.

Been a while since this thread has been updated, it seems... The latest addition to my flock came from a surprising place, my spare parts collection.

I was going through them this morning for another project and realized that I had parts for a transitional/frankenpen 100N... who knows why I hadn't noticed that before.

Long story short, I cleaned the older gen barrel internally, fitted a post war piston unit to it with a new seal (black from vintagepens.com), plonked in a spare EF nib and assembled a cap with the original older gen ebonite cap top. All nice crisp imprints, nib size matches the nib and no major (or even minor) flaws there.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with the binde... as in, it is loose. That faded green/grey one is very nice but I also have a black one from another older gen 100N that had a cracked barrel.

I could of course go crazy and get something else entirely (sterling silver would sound appealing, something along the lines of the work of Henry Simpole...). Anyway, the pen is in a need of some TLC in the form of a gentle polish. And maybe recondition the cap top at some point... Anyway, other than that it is pretty much good to go as it is.
