| Over the years, we have been asked many
times to recommend a specific pen for customization, especially for italic and
flexible nibs. Having had the opportunity to work
on most models of most major brands, we have found that Pelikan pens and Pelikan
nibs consistently work well for these purposes.
However, they do not offer nibs with these characteristics, which is why
many of our customers, including Mandy Young (please see our Calligraphy
page), have been buying their Pelikan pens at various retail establishments and
sending them to us for alterations. In addition to being
well-designed, well-constructed and finely finished pens, Pelikans have a feature
many of our customers find indispensable: you can usually tell how much ink is
left in the reservoir. Almost all sizes and styles of Pelikan pens have either
a transparent barrel or an ink window. When you hold the red-, green- or blue-stripe
barrels up to a light source, you can see through them and tell how much ink is
left. Other colors (black, blue, burgundy), including Toledoes, Cities Series
and Limited Editions, have ink windows. Some of the new Places Series are completely
opaque. Their piston-filled reservoirs are capacious, especially in the M800 and
M1000 sizes, and with the ability to see how much ink is in the pen, you need
never run out in the middle of an important meeting again! The New Pelikan Book, "Pelikan
Writing Instruments 1928-2004" Is Here We can now offer for sale the entire Pelikan line with (or without) our customized nibs/tips. We find that we can provide the Pelikan fountain pen and our nib customization service together for less than the retail cost of the pen alone. Even if we don't customize it, we test every one before shipping it to you, which is more than most retail establishments can say. What good is a pen if it doesn't write well? | ||||||||||

| The following is a testimonial from a customer for whom we installed a 14K gold Pelikan nib in his Pelikan pen which came with a steel nib: "The pen arrived safely today. It
writes better than it ever did, obviously because it has a better nib. I had meant
to mention that I had sent the pen to Pelikan in Germany and they told me they
could not repair it. However, Jens Meyer of Pelikan suggested I try you. I guess
that is the best measure of your skill. You can do what the manufacturer could
not. " (John Weygandt, 1/22/03) | ||||||||||

When you buy from us, you know you will be getting a pen that has been thoroughly tested. Because nibs are our specialty we do not ship pens that do not write beautifully. ******************** We were able to acquire many spare parts and spare nibs for many Pelikan pens, including 14K M800 nibs for customization to extra-flexible. We also have a large selection of M1000 reconditioned screw-in nibs. One of the beauties of the Pelikan system is the interchangeability of the nibs. One can have a great pen and a number of different nibs for use in different situations. Please call for prices and customization options. 323-655-2641
