I have a Level 65 where the grip section is begining to develope very fine cracks and ink is sipping through. I would like to know if anyone else have the same experience.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Erwiderung. Ich nehme es zu bedeuten, dass der schwarz Souveran von einer einzelnen dicken Wand gebaut ist. Ich frage dieses, weil jemand, der bei der Drehung auf Bestellungsärmel für Souveran Eigentümer spezialisiert, ein Bild vom gestreiften Ärmel gezeigt hat, der von Dre...

Hallo, Bitte vergeben Sie mein Deutsch. Ich habe eine Frage betreffend des Konstruktion des Pelikan Souveran Bereichs. Ich verstehe, dass die gestreiften Modelle von einer Schicht durchsichtigen Materials und einer anderen gestreiften Schicht für Ärmel gemacht sind. Ist das schwarze Modell auch au...

Hi,

I don't know if this has been asked before but will anyone be kind enough to tell me how the piston assembly of Pelikans can be removed for cleaning. Some ink got into the back of the piston while I was flushing it and I like to clean that out. Thanks in advance.

FC ... guess what ... your comment about the Parker Frontier made me think ... there was this girl i was seeing in 1997 and she gave me an inexpensive fountain pen for a gift. I never used it and at the time I hated how it wrote. Found it in my drawer ... it's a brand new Parker Frontier, steel cap...

FC, you are certainly right. Plus I don't know enough about all the FPs out there to make such a call. I am really just a Pelikan fan and know their pens well. It's just that it is not often that I come across a budget FP that is so nicely equipped and writes so fine as this Phileas. That's right. ...

snip I firmly believe there is no pen in the market at this price point that comes even close to the Phileas in value. period. Hi Alex, You are probably right but don't discount the humble Parker Frontier. I bought one for under USD10 and it writes like a dream. I can now understand why Frank Dubie...

Thank you again for your further feedback on this. I will keep them in mind when I clean the Level.

Thank you Tenryu, I didn't know about removing the nib. Removing the valve seem like a tricky job. Can I just remove the nib assembly and then flush the barrel from that end with a syringe while the arrow mark is on the dot. And also flush the valve with an empty Level refill bottle filled with wate...

Hi there,

I would like to know if anyone knows how to clean a Pelikan Level for storage. I am thinking about putting the Level out of rotation for awhile but would like to clean it before doing so. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
FC

I also like to invite you to visit: www.pentrace.com where lots of ink articles and ink reviews have been published which are accessable through their homepage or their "inkspot". Michael Dear Michael, Thank you for answering my post. You have been quite helpful. It is just that I am usin...

Hi there, Does anyone in this forum have some knowledge of rotring ink. I bought a rotring Artpen recently and the advice is to use only rotring ArtPen ink or rotring Brillant ink. The first is described as Artist's ink and the latter high-brilliance ink for fountain pens. I would like to know in mo...

I read with interest, Martin Lehmann’s account of eye-dropper fountain pens in his article, The First Fountain Pens. Contrary to popular understanding of this type of pen, I believe it is still in widespread use. However, it is not the classics but a reincarnation of it. They are in fact cartridge...

The new nibs fit the new pens, but if your pen is from college years, be careful, because the older pens are not always threaded the same. Carol Dear Carol, you have a good point. You must be technically inclined to suspect that old screw threads may not be the same as new ones. Well, so much for m...

About whether the nibs of M200 etc. and M150 are interchangeable, I don't know, I don't own a M150. Maybe somebody else can enlighten us? Dear phouk, many thanks for the link. It is a great help. From the look of it, it looks like nib no. 7 and 9 are about the same size. I suppose the M200 and M150...
