Pelikan 400 Gunther Wagner With An Obb 14C Nib

January 23, 2015

I have this Pelikan 400 that has the Gunther Wagner markings on the barrel and the OBB mark on the piston nob. There is a little damage to the feed - a couple of broken ribs that I could not pick up very well with my camera. I have photographed the nib the best I can and I'm curious to know if this pen has any value. The other problem is a small gap between the knob and barrel that I can't seem to fix. The pen writes fine and the fill system works fine also. I would appreciate any advice or information about what I should do with this pen and how much it might be worth the way it is. Thanks

Good for you. Yours looks to be a 30 degree grind too.

I have an Osmia&O-F-C with OBB (one a 15 degree grind, the other a 30 degree grind) and an unmarked nibbed 500 that is OBB with a 30 degree grind. That with the stubbishness will give you such wonderful line variation.

Mine are as vintage a bit narrower than modern BB, more OB1/2.

Go to Penboard de. and buy a 'new' feed, yours is a bit broken. Should be 4 rills/combs all the way to the back.

Not the end of the world.
