Hi,

I`ve been bitten by the fountain pen bug recently and bought my first fountain pen after decades. I shouldn`t have done that but now it`s too late. The damage is done and I`ve got a nice Pelikan for a very good price. It had been in the shop window since 2011 and I was eyeing it on my way to work almost daily. Last Monday it was down to half the price and I bought it. And some ink to fill it with, too.
Before I got the pen I used to write with mechanical pencils. They give a better writing feel than ballpoints.

Greetings,
Norika

Hi Norika,

Congratulations on your Pelikan - any more half-price ones in the window?? (just kidding...)

Welcome to the Fountain Pen Geeks forums! Smaller than the largest pen fora, larger than some, you'll find a comfortable community of pen-centric people here, with a growing body of posts, reviews, and group knowledge. Mostly, you'll find people who are enthusiastic about fountain pens, and fountain pen people.

Join in!

Regards,
Jon

Welcome to the madness. Indulge!
You don't know how lucky you are to have a shop window to walk past. Glad you gave them your business.

Welcome to the site. You resisted that Pelikan longer than I probably would have.
What model is it?
