Thanks for your pix Stefan, but it's definitely not the same system : on mine there is a golden ring that yours doesn't seems to have.

The top button just turn "mad" (like we say in french... don't know if it make sense in english :embarrassed_smile: ) but doesn't unscrew. I first have to unscrew the golden ring to be able to pull of the top button : as you can see on the pictures, I get acces to the leads, but no rubber, and no thread...

Like 'Andyk' said, I really think the feeding of the leads has to be done by the hole end of the pencil.

At least I learned how to feed my 450. Thanks Stefan.

Beautiful, beautiful.. up until now I am still at a loss as to how you guys are able to find such pens in flea markets! I've visited a few antique shops, only to find a number of broken pens sitting ignored in a corner. :(

 

Enjoy that set!

It occurs to me that I don't know if I can actually put leads into the pencil as shown in my photo. It could be that this is only a storage compartment, and that the leads need to be inserted from the front for actual use. The reason I don't know is that there was already a lead in the feed when I got the pencil (just a few weeks ago). I'll have to take the lead out, and see if another one feeds automagically.

My best guess is that you have one of the earliest Pelikan 400 sets made. I have seen images dating to 1938 showing Pelikan products using that same style of mechanism for the pencil, that same case, and referencing the same markings. I have also seen a 1950 Colour advertisement which matches the Fountain Pen, and which interestingly was priced at 25 Deutsch Marks for it alone when it was new.

:headsmack: Sorry about zombieing............ :blush: :rolleyes:

But some how I had pushed hard, or put the tip to the paper and did so.....so thought the pencil was empty. :o

I'm very glad I didn't show up at my B&M looking to see how to fill a pencil with lead still in it.

I still have lead in the back compartment.

 

I really like the balance on that 450....until I screwed up...and thought it empty....and somehow got the eraser out with out the screw on eraser protector, so I was really lost, in I could not figure out how to fill it, looking down the back seeing only a brass bottom. :unsure:

Having no spare lead.....well, I did, but it was 'hidden'....by circumstance and ignorance.

 

Sigh, I don't know what I'm going to do with the 20 inked pens, now my 450 is back in operation. :lol:

Until this 450, I never liked mechanical pencils....Jotters and my P-75 pencil/ball point. I'll have to dig that one out...to compare. I still have the 'end messy refilling' lead cartridge.

Now to see if that's only disposable or not.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
