It cleaned the dried ink out of the pen and opened up the nibs in no time at all. Not bad after sitting in my desk for 15 years. I have nine nibs, and the OM and B write smooth as silk. The plunger draws ink and seals nicely . . . a MontBlanc cloth polished up the barrel to a gleaming, rich surface. The 120 doesn't have the heft of a more substantial pen, but it does a great job.

It is now soaking . . . I am told ammonia is useful in cleaning dried ink . . . it is a fine old pen. I used a Pelikan 120 for calligraphy in the 1970’s and still have the pen, and many nibs.

I've had a 120 since the late 1960s – not elegant, but a real workhorse. The nib no longer works, and I'm wondering where I could find a 120 replacement nib? Would nibs from other Pelikan models fit the 120, and which might those be? Would appreciate any advice you can give. Many thanks! Thanks for the interesting info on the Pelikan 120.
