With no disrespect intended, I would not normally put a fairly common vintage pen on the website. I am making an exception in this case, for this stunning example of a vintage (1950s) Pelikan 400 fountain pen.
Why you may ask? Well…
It comes with a really nice etui (case) which is in good condition, and has a Pelikan leaflet too
The condition is excellent, of course no cracks or chips, but the trim is very clean and the barrel transparency is fantastic. Piston works.
It is equipped with an unusual 14C yellow gold nib, which is stamped with “KM”. This imprint stands for Kugelschreiber Medium. A Kugelschreiber nib has more than usual ball shaped tipping (Kugel is German for ball or bullet) and I understand may have been designed for carbon copy although this nib does have a bit of bounce to it.
So, not your average Pelikan 400..
