As I have noted, I have spread some of the false information regarding pf, for I speculated (based on what I no longer recall) that pf meant Pelikan Fabrik. I was wrong! And I want to reiterate that. pf has nothing to do with the date or production source of the Pelikan nibs!
In April 2009, when I was at the Pelikan factory I asked Christian Ehlers, who is the production manager and who was touring me, about the mark and he explained that pf is a Swiss customs stamp. I regard that as the final, definitive answer unless I hear otherwise from someone who seems a better source (not that I can imagine one).
Now that I have looked for it I have seen the pf stamp on other European goods, not just pens and not just Pelikans.
