Customized Pelikan 100 N

Some details of Pelikan 100 N customization.
The red and black marbled barrel is not finished, so some of the making can be see.
Atention, these are not original parts for Pelikan 100 N, they are made form raw materials.

Samples of material used for Pelikan 100 N sleeves (bindes).

In a very short time will be offering customized barrels for the Pelikan 100 N and 100, 3/4 weeks.
Don't have a value for them yet.
A good thing is that there are no need to send the pen. Barrels are done to fit all Pelikan 100 N. All needed is to screw the nib unit and the filling system, and pen is ready.

Here you can see some samples of cellulose acetate used to make the Pelikan 100 N customization

Material used for the sleeves (bindes) on the Pelikan 100 N customization


These are the materials used.
Clear celluloid tubes and black celluloid for the ink deposit and section, and cellulose acetate for the sleeve.
Cellulose acetate will never be in contact with the ink. Celluloid goes inside the sleeve, so the piston runs only on the celluloid, and the ink will only be on the cellulid part.
Celluloid is glued very strongly to the cellulose acetate and will form a one piece barrel.

Pelikan 100 N customization final result

This is the final result of the work.
On the picture one barrel is not completely concluded.
Quite a striking result.

PELIKAN 100N MAGNUM

The Pelikan 100N ( Magnum) was the first "100N" pen.
Inicial order for this model was made on 1935 and delivered on 1936 for the portuguese market.

Two versions of the model exist.
First one have EMEGÊ imprinted on the cap top with the Pelikan imprint also, and a darker tortoise sleeve, the second version of the model have the Emegê imprinted on the cap side and not on the cap top and a ligther tortoise pattern closer to mother-of-pearl.

On the enginiering this model is closer to the Pelikan 100 than to the Pelikan 100N:

1. shaft threads are the same like the 100;

2. turning knob like the 100, with a longer midle part than the 100N,but no kurling and streamlined;

3. a arrow is stamped on the turning knob like the 100;

4. on the first pens a brass colar can be found on the back part of the barrel, beneth the sleeve;

Just for example.

There was not a local production and all the Pelikan pens sent to the portuguese market were manufactured in Germany.

This is the big size Pelikan from the 30's and there is not an explanation for why this model was ment only for the portuguese market, further investigation must be done.
