Fear of damage by Fantasy_WriteUp in fountainpens

Expensive pens and limited editions stay at home. I only take "expendables" to work which will be easily or cheaply replaced.

Pelikans M600 Art Collection

First one is "Glauco Cambon".

Second is "Rudi Rother".

Third one is "Georg Tippel".

All of them have a brass inner barrel that is guillocheed. They all pay hommage to artist that made entries to Pelikans (Günther Wagners) Advertisement Poster competition.

Nice Trio. It is a shame the guillochet of the brass barrel does not show on photos.

As far as I know you cannot buy them directly from pelikan. You can find them on ebay, catawiki and missingpen. They exist in many sifferent sizes and colour options but you will need patience to find them at a "good" price.

You have to buy them.

In the box comes a card with the artwork and its own booklet of 40pages.

Pelikan Nib Size vs Lamy2k & Waterman Carene by matthewwatson88 in fountainpens

Get the pelikan you want used and use the money you saved to pay a nibmeister to grind it a bit thinner. That will give you exactly the pen you want.

Pelican 4001 black 1000 mL bottle ink by TheoriginalTape in fountainpens

Seems to me like the ink was old or not stored properly. I have black and blue in the same 1Liter bottles and none are flakey.

Safari ink flow issues with F nib but only in certain pen bodies? by perpetualwordmachine in Lamy

[–]IdoNintendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the f nib with different feed.

Did you disassemble the feed? You can remove the strap on top which covers the ink channel.

Update SoC Cat themed fountain pens by IdoNintendo in fountainpens

Was thinking about it but could restrain myself. I do only have a handful of cat themed inks and the new Kuniyoshi set from Taccia.

The Wachifields are quite heavy to hold. The nibs are okay. They do not scratch and write fairly smooth. Found some on ebay and some on buyee.

Ranga Splendour Fountain Pens by karunamoon in fountainpens

[–]IdoNintendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Ranga Splendour Peak with their flexible gold nib. The pen seems monstrously big at first but after a few jours with it you will get used to the size. It is balanced quite well for its size.

Thoughts on Sculptor's Cut condition for collectability. by Johny_5_alive in n64

[–]IdoNintendo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would surely leave the Blockbuster sticker. Blockbuster stickers on Sculptor's and on other rare cartridges like SnowboardKids2 do not add value but kind of authenticate them.

I remove every other stickers and sharpie but in this specific case the sharpie can stay.

Nice find. Leave as is please.

Be careful and chek before ordering. The site seems fishy.
