The ink was better than the coffee.

Despite a busy weekend schedule, I still found some time to tinker.

This nib was lying around for a long time with me.



I once made it out of aPelikan M100 and a M200 nib, but could never offer it a permanent home in the form of a suitable fountain pen. Since I have been drawing a lot lately, I wanted to change that.

A quick look in the parts box brought the following to light:



The barrel of a defective M200 (the piston mechanism was gone)
the heavy used cap of a Pelikan 400NN
and the piston housing and piston knob of a Pelikan 140

I shortened the empty piston housing, slightly reduced the diameter on the lathe, and permanently glued it into the empty M200 barrel. I freed the 140's rotary knob from its spindle and screwed it onto the protruding thread of the piston housing with a little silicone grease. Surprise! The barrel was airtight.

So I quickly screwed in the nib unit and filled the pen from the back with the syringe. (You can fit a lot of ink in there!) I took Platinum Carbon Black, because I really like this waterproof ink.

And the Pelikan Eyedropper with double nib was ready. Perfect for drawing, quick notes, reminders, labeling, envelopes and much more...






(...as if I didn't have enough fountain pens to write with already!)

Brilliant! And what a fantastic end result.

Brilliantly done - perhaps Pelikan's Skunkworks team is taking notes
I have to lookup if you have share more about this nib - it is my favorite type and similar to Monty Winnfields Seagull nib.

Not wasted as that's not possible with your drawings christof.

already when I started collecting fountain pens, the brand montblanc was very popular among collectors and vintage fountain pens of this brand therefore accordingly sought and expensive. But as it is, on my search one or the other Montblanc has crossed my path. I never kept them, but always resold or traded them after a certain time.

In this way, a modest number of Montblanc fountain pens have passed through my hands after all. Some of them I have photographed. That is the reason why I would like to share a small review with you. Enjoy!
