Pelikan 120 (europe.pub)

Today I have for you the only Pelikan in the big box of pens. This is a 120 “school” pen from probably the early sixties. I think originally the nib was gold plated, but lots of pictures I found of this model, the gold wears off. I’m going to guess that is what happened here. The piston to fill the pen moves by turning the black end piece. I love how the clip is a pelican head and beak. It’s very gentle to fill compared with the piston actions of some of the other pens.

I've been looking for a 100N for a while now, but haven't seen any.

This 120 looks like a pen that could become a daily use / carry pen for me. Simply elegant.
