Pelikan 400 Tortoise

[Rafael Macia]

I continue to thin my collection. This is a nice tortoise Pelikan 400 from the 50's. The nib is a hard to find, OB nib. Great and expressive to write with. The nib is in perfect condition. It screws out, as it should.

There are no deep marks scratches, or cracks on the pen.

The cap has brassing on the lower edge of the cap ring. The clip has no brassing,

 

The piston meshanism works perfectly and does not leak. The filler knob is smooth twisting when filling.. It is not marked with any particular nib size.

The ink tank has some staining staining near the grip end of the tank.

 

An elegant user pen.
