Yep, it just needed the piston assembly screwed out and fiddled with and screwed back in. Something just wasn't lined up right. All good now.

Damn! I thought it needed some heat to fix it. Great to hear it is back in good form!

People like you have converted me to Pelikan a year ago.Originally Posted by tandaina
I must do my part to tempt fellow pen fans. ;-) I mean to evangelize for Pelikan!You know, T, it isn't fair with you being in the clergy. Makes it all squicky to think about absconding with your lovely collection!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection with us.

Just a few: Two M200's, two M400's -- the 'white Tortoise' and the 'classic' green.

Yes, but the nibs let them down - all modern nail types.My thought precisely.
If/when I get to use my Picadilly, I will probably swap the nib for an old 400 nib.
Best 'modern' Pelikan nib I have is from an old style - pre 1997 - M600 with an 18K OM nib. (The old style M600 is an M400 body with an 18K nib. M400 had 14K.)

Nice collection, Brewsky.
All I have is the M200 Special Edition Clear Demonstrator (XF/gold trimming) and a black M150 with gold trimming (M). I like the small barrels.

Re: Pelikan Collection, just for fun (share yours)
My Pelikan collection is not a collection, because I have only one standard green 400N.

Re: Pelikan Collection, just for fun (share yours)
I used to collect modern Pelikans heavily, but once I discovered vintage pens, I drifted away. The M800 and M1000 sized pens are perfect for my hand however, so I still have a number of them.
Seeing Igor61's post reignited my lust for the Austria1000. That one has always been out of my reach. Anyway, several of the pens in this photo have gone to new homes, but many are still in my regular rotation.
Best Regards, greg

Beautiful group. The one that's second from the right -- does it have a custom binde?I used to collect modern Pelikans heavily, but once I discovered vintage pens, I drifted away. The M800 and M1000 sized pens are perfect for my hand however, so I still have a number of them.

Re: Pelikan Collection, just for fun (share yours)
Yes, the M1000 second from right has a binde made by Chris Burton. It was done several years ago. It never leaves my rotation.
