Thanks that looks really cool 
will definitely give it a go. I’m still waiting for someone at Fenix to get back to me about buying the fenix one that I like. The silly thing is I have one here in the box with the camo version of the PD35v2 which i’ve got listed for sale on ebay. I considered nicking it and putting the non-adjustable lanyard in with it instead but that just felt dishonest. Seems crazy that they don’t sell them separately like O-light do, I’d have paid a fiver for it without even thinking twice, they probably cost pennies to make.
Managed to get a lead on supply of the Fenix lanyard that I wanted. Should be able to order next week. Will post back here with more details if anyone else wants to get one.
Posted today, be a few days no doubt 
Thanks mate
Received mine yesterday. Thanks
Warning - Shameless self promotion.
I make paracord bits for heinnie.com one of the most popular being a wrist lanyard

But I guess the full size paracord loop wouldn’t work with most torches? I’m trying to think of a way around that issue….
Many thanks for the very kind gesture, I have many candidates for this one.
Just noticed my img.bb images aren’t showing up (for me) yet sb can see them - what about you guys?
Post 22 should, and did have photo’s in 
OOOh nice pouch there! is that your work or did you have it made?
Larger than the Noctigon / Emisar lanyards :+1:
Thanks, it was made by my lovely girlfriend. It has a few issues to be ironed out for the next one which I’m hoping won’t be too far away, she has an insane amount of fabric/patterns to choose from. The inspiration for the pouch was the Nock fountain pen pouches as shown.
When time permits I’m hoping to refine the process and bang out a few. (more accurately, the GF will bang them out)
Very nice Jase :+1:
Oh and a suggestion…… :person_facepalming: I have a battery charging bag that has fire resistant liner in, considering the bag was like £3 ish the material (fibreglass maybe?) lining it must be quite cheap - might be worth considering lining it with something like that? you know some people burn themselves 
I was just thinking if it was cheap enough, maybe an idea is all. something like this - you may be able to find cheaper, 1st one I found lol - just to give an idea :+1: link
Also I see you like your pens…… maybe you might be able to help me.
My Uncle who recently died bought me a Pelikan fountain pen when I was about 15, but over the years i have lost a little gold ring from it, and despite A LOT of looking, and enquiring I simply cannot find one…
It is a pelikan m150/481- after looking on the net, it seem MAYBE nothing is missing lol (i’m sure it had a ring, maybe i’m wrong), i can’t work out the piston bit, the tail cap will not screw right down is all - still stuck though!
Just an update, I called ‘niche pens’ and the lady was only too pleased to help me out, lovely lady. She said it should be repaired for free and to call a number she gave where it would be sent back to Germany and fixed, and the ring replaced, they might even replace the entire innards. Hopefully they will, we will see next week when I call them as they are shut now.
I hope you can see the below photos - I sadly can’t for some reason at the moment, troubles with imgbb - but there are 3 photos below lol
Very impressive.
imgbb, isn’t that the site where the emperor bought his new clothes?
Just kidding. Takes for ever to load, and when the loading stops: nothing!
I’m using Firefox.
EDIT: Now I can see them.
yet I can see those fountain photos, but not my others… who knows…
EDIT restarting my pc cured it, can see them all now
@G0OSE thanks for the lanyard! Unfortunately the paracord is too thick to fit through the lanyard loop on the end of this light but it’s still a nice gesture nonetheless. I’m sure I’ll find a use for it, thankyou.
Lovely pen you have there, I’m been using fountain pens since I learnt to write and collecting them for around 15 years. I’m relatively new to Pelikan though, having only purchased my first around 18 months ago.
Good news with Niche pens, I’ve purchased a few through them when I lived in New Zealand and found them reasonability helpful with warranty issues. I own only a few modern and vintage Pelikans.
A couple a good resources for Pelikan history and model identification -
Pic of my M1005, M805 and M815. The vintage Pelikans are hands down better with far higher quality nibs.
No worries Negev
Re the Pelikan pen, thanks I’m keen to try it out - but I’m going to phone that number tomorrow when they open and see if they can repair it free or cheap as I was advised. I’ll let you know what happens.
Your M150 isn’t missing a gold ring according to the articles I linked, your particular pen has either a seized piston or the piston assembly has been pulled back out from the barrel by a few mm. If you get nowhere with Niche I can have a go at fixing it for you.
I’ve worked on current range Pelikans and those from my vintage collection which are all 1950s models. The principle for the pens construction and assembly hasn’t changed much in 70 years. Attached is a pic of a more rare model of early 1950s black striped 400, I removed the piston assembly in order to refinish the inside of the barrel and restore the clarity. I fitted a new piston gasket and now use the pen at the office.
Here it is restored with an early 1950s Pelikan Tortoise striped 400.
Yeah I was toying with there being no gold ring - but I seem to remember one, and couldn’t think why I thought there was one when there wasn’t.
Who knows lol, either way it isn’t going back flush and I have tried like 500 times to get it done, I can get it close, but there is always that little gap.
The lady in the shop said the piston probably needs replacing and they’d do it free (we’ll see about that) it is a bit stiff even after a good clean with warm water.
lets see what happens with the returning etc, and I’ll get back to you - I did see a video about pushing it back in, but I’m not sure that has happened here, by no means completely sure though.
Thank you for your offer to take a look too.
