PELIKAN 100N

Visiting a antique store while on holiday I was lucky enough to pick up this original Pelikan 100N. It has a few issues - iridium missing from the nib, a gouge at base of the turning nob and a worn piston washer. I kind of find the personalisation fitting with the pen brand. While not in the best of condition with a buy price equivlent to US$50 it was a good find.

Yes, considering truly excellent examples sell for >$1000 retail, I'd say you did tolerably well

BTW, glad to see you using GALLERY. If we take the image you uploaded, and simply paste in the BBC code from the share-link options, this is what your image does in the post...

Defects or not that is one of the best finds in Pelikan 100's ever!!!! Congrats.

Very nice! Ive been wanting a vintage Pelikan tortoise for a long time, and $50 is a price ill pay, not $400+.

Nice, it encourages me to hear that such finds are possible.
