    Than you for posting this. What a passion! This model of wonderful Pelikan was given to me when I was a teenager, by an old lady, many years ago. It was a keepsake from her son. I used it in high school and college for writing and drawing portraits, I respected it, but after a dozen or so years I sat on it accidentally breaking it. So I immediately bought the same model in excellent shape for something like 100 dollars because I loved my fountain pen so much.

  • @H.G.Halberd
    @H.G.Halberd 20 дней назад

    On the warranty card it reads: Pelikan congratulates you for the winning of this high quality fountain pen. If you wish for another nib size, we will change it into one of the 8 regularly available sizes within four weeks of getting the pen. Of course you can expect a long lasting warranty for this piece of writing equipment in case of any eventual material- or manifacturing errors. It is valid for five years from the raffledate: November 1996. Please contact this address in both cases: and then just the address of Pelikan below

    You inspired me to try and collect iconic pens from each design phase, I now have one of almost every model from 1932-1965 (Rappen, 100 (4 chicks from 1935 and war version from 1940s), 100N from the 50s, 100N taylorix reserved for me, IBIS 130, 300 reserved for me, 400, 120, 140 (green striped 1960s, early bordeaux with broad clip, black and black Taylorix with a blue and green one reserverd), 400N, 400NN (green striped OBB and a tortoise brown reserved for me)) and a lot from after that (several 60s/70s rolled golds, silvexxas etc., early m481 with friction fit nib for example)

    In Greece the 62ml bottle costs 10.20 euro and the 30ml bottle costs 5.60 euro. In Turkey the 62ml costs 5.40 euro and the 30 ml 2.66 euro. You in Romania are even cheaper than Turkey. Prices in Greece are probably very close to American prices, even if it doesn't have to travel that far from Germany, even if the monthly salary in Greece is probably a quarter of American salary or maybe less than that. I am wondering what are the prices in Germany? It is the manufacturer country but the monthly salary is 3-4 times that of Greece. Greece is the most expensive country in the Balkans. The cost of living here is unbearable. Back in the 70's-80's everyone could afford to spend even a whole month of vacations in Greek islands, now you can't even go there for 3-4 days. They have been turned into a tourist trap for rich people who made up tens of euros per month.

    • @HistoricGentleman
      @HistoricGentleman 26 дней назад

      @@nikossiotas Greece is still cheaper than the US, as the 30ml bottle is 12$USD here. If you take the standard wage and subtract our income taxes a 30ml bottle takes two and a quarter hours wages, let’s not forget that when you go to buy it yet again, on average you can add another 7-13% sales tax on top of the 12$ ink price.

    Nice Monterosa unboxing. About the paper bits stuck to the backside of the sticker: There is a label remover from the bran CRC that if you use a q-tip and spray on it and then touch the bits of paper, the chemical will go through the paper and dissolve the glue on the other side. Gently lift the bits from the sticker and let them dry. Glue them om the box later. Hope you have kept the sticker.
