Produced in the 1970's by Merz & Krell for Pelikan, this part has been plagued by cracking since it was first introduced probably due to the choice of material and manufacturing technique.

This part is made from cast dense acrylic made in Italy which is used in a number of quality pens and is resistant to damage yet still retains the characteristics of the original cap. These will not crack!

I make the cap top in various colours including, blue, red, yellow and green, as well as standard black which were originally used to identify the ink colour inside the pen. 

The Mk2 cap does not have the Pelikan logo on top as the earlier Mk1 type 120/140s featured.
