Five (5) Replacement Seals for Pelikan 100N, 400, 120, 140
Newly Made, Modeled on Early 1950s Pelikan 400 Seal
Five (5) piston seals for Pelikan 100N, 400, 120, and 140 family pens. Secure snap-fit replacements for original synthetic seals, new manufacture, shown at top mounted on Pelikan piston-filling mechanisms (sorry, the mechanisms are not included!). These seals are modeled on an original Pelikan piston seal design of the early 1950s. They come in two sizes: the clear and the black seals are designed for precise sealing in barrels with a 9.0 mm inner diameter; the green seals are optimized for diameters of 9.1 to 9.2 mm.
In general, the larger green seals fit earlier production Pelikan 100N series pens with celluloid barrels, while the smaller clear and black seals fit late-production 100N pens with acrylic barrels as well as the 120/140/400 series pens. Unfortunately, there is much inconsistency in Pelikan barrel size, so we recommend that you order a mix of sizes — please let us know how many of each color to send. If you do not specify, we will send an assortment.
Use with a thin film of silicone grease — piston action may be a little stiff at first until the seal breaks in. May not seal properly if the barrel interior is scarred or irregular (vintage Pelikan specialists will hone or polish such barrels as necessary)
NOTE: These seals will NOT fit Pelikan 100 pens, as their barrels are too narrow inside.
These seals are not made by, nor warranted in any way by Pelikan — use at your own risk.
We also sell synthetic rubber replacement seals for Pelikan 100 and 100N pens originally equipped with cork seals, which are listed separately.
