AP and BARREL
This Pelikan 100N fountain pen is in VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT condition. The cap shows no major wear. The stamping on the top of the cap is very well preserved. The stamping around the circumference of the cap is a bit light. There is light wear to the trim of the fluted clip and cap band. The barrel is in EXCELLENT to NEAR MINT condition. Pelikan's famous differential piston actuates super smoothly.
PELIKAN FLEXIBLE FINE 14K NIB
This Pelikan 100N fountain pen features a correct 14K solid gold fine nib. The nib flex feels very controlled. It is not hard to flex and is smooth as it flexes. It is snappy and responsive which makes the variation more dramatic if you so choose. The nib is properly aligned to the feed. The nib is super smooth. This Pelikan nib is flexible enough that it will add some amazing expressiveness and character to one's writing.
The nib unit can unscrew as is the case with most Pelikan fountain pens.
RESTORATION SERVICES
This Pelikan 100N fountain pen has been cleaned and tested for function (filling and writing). It is READY TO WRITE upon filling with standard fountain pen ink.
Renaissance Wax
(yes, only the best) has been sparingly applied to the surface to protect and preserve the green celluloid
as well as metal surfaces
. Renaissance Wax is used by professional vintage pen restorers and other esteemed institutions such as the British Museum. It is great for protecting metals from oxidation and for protecting surfaces that often come into contact with hands.
This
wax
will not stain or discolor with aging. It is 1

acid neutral
; 2.
water r
esistant
; and
3.
alcohol resistant. The Renaissance Wax will preserve the color of the green celluloid and protect from color loss.
The Pelikan flexible 14K nib has been
adjusted for smoothness and flow
.
Beyond making sure that the pens I restore write, I like to make sure they
write well. Using a loupe, premium micro-abrasives, and when necessary, specially made nib repair tools each nib is carefully adjusted to provide an enjoyable writing experience based on the particular characteristics of the nib. This Pelikan 100N fountain pen is an absolute delight to write with.
The Pelikan 100N has been fully disassembled, cleaned, and has been conservatively polished.
