For fans of How It’s Made, here is a video showing the manufacture of Pelikan fountain pens.
Some things have changed since this was filmed: I think Pelikan no longer makes its own nibs, and I know Souveran cap medallions are metal now. But I am impressed by how careful and labor-intensive the process was, and probably still is.
I found the link on FPN. Many thanks to the poster.

Interesting video but the choice of music is dreadful.

Nice, but what cheesy music! I half expected David Hasselhoff to sing at some point. And the red nail polish is distracting.

I got swept up in the nail polish, too.
I’m liking the Hasselhoff idea, frankly.

Thanks for sharing the link. I couldn’t resist taking a break to watch it. Fascinating to see all the stages in the process and only adds to my appreciation of what is already my favourite pen.
