Well last month in June I`ve finally gotten the Pelikan M101N M nib Tortoiseshell Brown fountain pen which came out in 2011 and enjoying writing with it so much naturally I had to get the Pelikan M101N F nib Lizard fountain pen which came out in 2012. Can I say this is my personal Pelikan rabbit hole? I have had an eye out for these Pelikan fountain pens ever since when they first came out and needless to say they are wonderful juicy writers. I use them for my daily diary writing and letter writing or for that matter any writing. I am indeed in Pelikan fountain pen heaven!! Have a great summer everyone!

I`m enjoying writing with it all weekend on my porch and it`s so inspiring!@nemo all credit goes to you by your unintentional enabling me of your gorgeous Pelikan M101N`S! I was sitting on the fence for the longest of time wether or not to purchase until I`ve seen your Pelikan M101 pensNo lizards here (yet) but I did see a big rattlesnake last week.
Congrats on another Special Edition, @Radium !

More parts. I needed a barrel for a 140 that has a cracked section, been looking for a while now (years!).
Finally found a good deal on one from Serbia (less than $25), came with the filler which I diagnosed as having a bad seal -- probably why it was available.
Anyways, took it apart and it all looks good so I'll be able to fix another Pelikan, this one has a perfect fine point nib.

Nice! It looks similar to Iroshizuku Yama-Guri.
Vintage ink bottles, some with usable contents (Carter's, Quink blue)
Had to buy a whole mess of junk to get that Pelikan, it's the smaller Wagenfeld design.

Bigger is also interesting, looks like Montblanc took their design for new botles. Great buy!
I don't care about that little one in the middle (there were two of those) but I do love the 1938 Bauhaus on the left. I've got already the larger with bigger cap.

Very cool score, Doug! Very cool.
By "smaller Wagenfeld design," do you mean that there were more than one size? All of the examples that I seem to find with a brief internet search end up being the 90mm size, including my own.
