Not just an acquisition, but a rebuilt.
This Pelikan 100 came to me literally, in pieces, crumbly bits of celluloid, to be exact.
Then there's the thin metal sheet that prevented me from cleaning up the crumbs on the piston.
The nib, is another story altogether.
I ordered the replacement barrel from David Nishimura. This is what the pen looks like after I work on it.
I'm quite impressed with the fit and finish of the new barrel.
But I still have a trick up my "sleeve" so I'm not done with this pen yet.
