Pelikan


Pelikan has been making wonderful piston-filled pens since 1929. The company had its roots in the 1870s, when it began as a maker of inks. The pens are often similar in appearance, and I'll confess I find it difficult to determine one model from another. The best aspect to a Pelikan is not its looks, but how the pens write. They are among the best, and very reliable.

Pelikan 400 Tortoise - Flexible Nib
dbc11 dbc11 

In great condition, what makes this Pelikan distinctive (beside the beautiful color and superb transparency) is the flexible BB nib.  This is a fantastic signature pen.  The only flaw is a little brassing at the end of the clip (where it curves up).  PIston filler.  The cap is actually a very dark brown, rather than black. 5 3/16", 131 mm.

Price: $275 with Free Shipping in the US SOLD

Pelikan 400 Tortoiseshell

 This a pretty Pelikan 400 with a dark brown cap and tortoiseshell barrel. The medium is a 14 Kt medium with flex on moderate pressure. This has the early feed, so I believe it's the version of the 400 from 1954-1956. 4 7/8", 125 mm.
