FS Pelikan M800 Demonstrator with SPANISH imprint

Hello out there,

 

This pen was made in very limited quantities with Spanish engravings, and as I read it, there is even a mistake in the turning knob - Empunadura for turning knob is the wrong word, I was told. In fact, this means "Grip Section" - hard to write, holding the turning knob in hands :-)

According to sources inside Pelikan of this version were made only 25 pens.

It is told, that these 25 arrived in Spain, were there refused, and went from there to Pelikan Milan.

 

Priced at Euro 980.-- / USD 1400.--

 

Best regards

 

Tom Westerich

I wish I could find one of these WITHOUT the error...

What is the error and do only some of the 25 have it or all 25?

My understanding (mostly from Rick Propas' site - www.thepenguinpen.com) is that while the Spanish engraved ones aren't common, there were 25 Spanish ones that were mislabeled. They managed to stop production and got 6 of them back, leaving 19 out there with the error.

 

The error makes it rare/expensive (and, it makes it erroneously labeled!).

 

 

By the way, I have ordered off of penboard.de and have been very happy.
