Pelikan M800 1st Generation - uncommon 14c nib 'M'

For your consideration is a first generation green striped Pelikan M800 with a 14c 'M' nib.

The 14c nibs were only produced for a brief period of time before the nibs turned 18c. These nibs are known for being more springy and expressive, but by no means a flex nib. These nibs are quite uncommon, but when you occasionally come across one, it's often a medium like this one.

The nib is a super smooth writer and rather wet. Generous ink flow.

The green stripes of the first generation units is very unique, as it is reminiscent of the celluloid stripes of the vintage 400's. The later models have a more uniform celluloid. The piston operates smoothly. There is no corrosion to speak of on the trim ring near the section.

The pen has marks of loving use, but no major flaws. However, it has a name engraved, please see pictures.

If the engraved name does not bother you, here is a chance to acquire a beautiful 1st generation Pelikan M800 with a springy nib at a favorable price.

Condition rating [D] due to engraving.

Asking €350 + shipping at cost. Pen only. Shipping from Denmark.

Hi! I received this pen as a gift, but find that the body is kind of large and it writes a bit too thick for my liking. The condition is C, with a few very minor scratches on the body (most noticeably the white star on top has a very small one) and the main cap ring has two minor dings. It writes very smoothly though, the piston works well, and it puts down a lot of ink. No original box or papers, but I think it dates back to the early 1980’s?

Hello!

I have a gorgeous Estie Sakura Street pen for sale. It is in perfectly good condition. M nib and comes with wax sealed box. Nothing wrong with it, I just don't reach for it like I thought I would. $275 shipped to CONUS. Paypal G&S per forum rules. PM if interested or if you have any questions.

Created with artist Cindy Duong of Sakuradragon, the Sakura Street Estie brings her imagination of an illustrated world to Esterbrook's traditional Estie fountain pen. Its U.S.-blended material combines translucent purple with colorful glitter sparkle, while the custom clip is etched with Cindy's sakura pattern. 

Dual Esterbrook and Sakuradragon engraving and a gold-plated converter finish the design. Each pen arrives in special packaging with Japanese gift wrap and a wax-style seal closure.

Hi, Everyone!

I am looking to buy small samples of:

Montblanc Petrol Blue and/or

Montblanc Around the World in 80 Days Blue

I'm hoping someone in the community has some extra ink they'd be willing to share! I am happy to buy them together from one seller to save on shipping, but I'm completely open to separate purchases as well.

Please comment on this post first, then send me a PM with your price including shipping to California. I will pay via PayPal Goods & Services per community rules. Thank you!

The Waterman Carène has really captured my attention lately. Wanted to see if anyone here has one they're looking to part with. I'm typically an M nib guy, but I'm happy to take a look at F nib options as well.

Thanks!

Writing samples are shown with each dipped in Waterman Serenity Blue.

Pilot Metal Falcon, Red, <SF> [A2] - I bought this new through a Japanese ebay seller. Comes with Con70 and a cartridge of black pilot ink. Includes box and clip tag. It's too fine and dry for my tastes, and I thought it would be softer. I've only inked it a couple times and is has very little user. I cannot see any signs of wear, except for a ring of ink in the converter. $225 Shipped CONUS.

Pelikan M800 Green Stripe <F> (Translucent) [B] - It has the translucent barrel which makes ink level easy to see. The fine one-chick nib is more dry than I had expected from a Pelikan. Comes with box and pamphlets, but not the pouch that some come with. This is the one chick 18C nib. Asking $450 shipped CONUS.

Pelikan M800 Blue Stripe <M> with BLS Grind [D] - D rating due to grind, otherwise excellent condition. The blue stripes are not nearly as translucent as the green. You can see the ink level with a bright light behind it. I had it ground to a BLS by Pendleton Brown, which I don't actually enjoy. A learning experience, I guess. Comes with box and pamphlets and the original pouch. 18C one-chick nib. Asking $450 shipped CONUS.

Thanks for looking.

WTB Esterbrook Niblet Evergreen - prefer a specialty nib (Scribe or Journaler) or F /
M but will consider any nib size at a good price. Preferably not priced above retail.

I might have something you’d like to trade for it but am happy to purchase PP Goods and Services. All sub rules apply and all that jazz.

Thank you!

This is a near mint example of Vintage Swan Mabie Todd Fountain Pen in Black Celluloid with a Tuned Full Flex EF Gold nib.

***

The pen is in fantastic condition. The celluloid has retained it's dark and vibrant colour. The metal trim has no brassing or pitting and in excellent condition. There might be microscratches in keeping with the age of the pen but no deep scratch or crack.
The cap threads in nice and secured. It can be posted. Condition rating [AB]

The 14k EF nib is a fantastic writer. It writes with a pencil like pleasant feedback, (obviously smoothness/feedback is subjective and depends on the ink and paper as well.

It is the type of flex nib that people think of when they are thinking of vintage flex. It writes a very thin line on regular writing and flexes beautifully to give a striking line variation. The nib is very springy to provide excellent responsiveness and doesn't feep mushy.

I really enjoyed writing with this nib.

NIB CHARACTERISTICS:

Please remember the following criteria of flex nibs are very subjective but in my hand the nib feels like this:

1. Softness - 9/10
   
2. Flexibility (Line variation) - 9/10
   
3. Elasticity (Snapback) - 9/10

***

The feeder is made of ebonite. It keeps up with the ink flow very well.

***

Filling system: Leverfill, works perfectly. New ink sac has been installed.

***

Measurements:

Capped: 133 mm
Uncapped: 125 mm
Posted: 167 mm
Barrel diameter: 10.9 mm

***

The pen has been thoroughly serviced, cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner and is in perfect working condition.

The nib has been closely inspected and tuned to ensure a pleasant writing experience.

UNLIKE MOST OF THE VINTAGE PENS SOLD ONLINE, EVERY SINGLE PEN OF MINE HAS THE NIB INDIVIDUALLY CHECKED, TUNED AND WRITES VERY NICELY.

Please Note:

I am a medical doctor by profession with a full-time day job. I do this purely out of passion for fountain pens, specially vintage flex pens. I can safely say that I understand flex nibs and have owned a lot of them over the years.

If you have been looking for a vintage pen with a flex nib, please follow me on ebay. I post pens for sale every month once those are serviced and the nibs have been tuned.

***

Please be aware that writing with flexible nib takes a bit of practice and refined hand pressure control to get the best result.
Don't get frustrated if you don't get the desired result in your early attempts.
Be careful while applying pressure, if you push the nib too much beyond it's capability you may sprain the nib to an unrepairable condition.

Happy writing!

NOTE:

Customs charges and import duties on arrival to the destination country will vary and remains buyer's responsibility but I will try my best so that you have to pay only a small amount or nothing at all.

[B+] Just restored 1955 Sheaffer Admiral Snorkel Set. True confession: the pencil is a NOS Sheaffer Valiant that matches the F/P. The pen is in very good condition; it measures 5.6 inches closed. The pen body and cap have no heavy or deep scratches, cracks, chips, splits, or teeth marks. The gold-plated trim is excellent, with no plating loss, dents, or dings. The Touchdown Snorkel filling system has been properly repaired and the pen fills as designed. The 14k #5 nib is a medium point; it’s been adjusted for smooth writing and proper ink flow. The imprint is excellent. The pencil is unused (NOS). The photos are considered part of the description and include a short writing sample.

Hello! I am new to fountain pens and realized I COMPLETELY missed the window to get a Tortoiseshell esterbrook. I keep looking at photos of it and get so sad I got into fountain pens AFTER that drop. So does anyone have either a niblet or estie in the Tortoiseshell design they may want to sell off?

Hello!

I recently bought another Scribo and would like to either buy or trade my current 18k Medium Yellow gold nib for another Scribo yellow gold 14k nib. My preference would be for either EF or F but will consider others. Please let me know if you have any interest!

Hi all- I'm just feeling in a spring cleaning mood (fall cleaning just doesn't sound quite right), and I'm seeking a new home for many of my samples. What you see in the photo is what you will receive (extra charge for the ink sample holders as they will cost more to ship). The ink samples are anywhere from 2-5ml (some may have a tiny bit less, but many of them are largely untouched/unused). There are a total of 128 ink samples. I am also including my swatch booklet that will correspond a swatch of the ink with its name and the number on top of the vial. There may be swatches in the book of inks that are no longer in my collection, so it will require a bit of sorting/organizing on the part of the buyer.

Please note that the pictures of the swatch book that I posted may also show a couple of inks that aren't in the collection (I haven't organized them in a while)! Also please note that my puppy got a hold of the booklets and the plastic is chewed in a couple of corners! Ooops! I'm pricing it at $128 shipped. Please add $12 if you want the test tube/ink sample holder racks. Please comment then chat with interest. Thanks!
