3 X Pelikan 450 Tortoise

[konis]

I have three Pelikan 450 Tortoise, but all are different.

Number on the ring is same for all - 450.

One have diameter 11 mm, two have diameter 10 mm.

One pencil need 0,92 mm leads, two 1,18 mm

There were some other varieties ?

Seems that you've got the matching pencils for a Pelikan 400, 400N and 400NN (which is sleeker than the others.)

The shape of the clip should be matching to the mentioned pens also.

Well I have a 450 MB-455 BP to match my 'rare' friction feed '56 400NN.....in green.

I guess then I'll not sell the MB and BP....got the etui also, but the zippers shot. Can't be repaired.

 

I got them together at a live auction, and was going to sell the BP&MP because all I wanted was the nib of the 400nn. The odd 234 1/2 Deluxe MB was going to be sold too.

 

Kept them all.

 

For years the Mb 234 1/2 KOB semi-flex and the 400nn 'flexi'/maxi-semi-flex were my # 1&2 pens.

 

I now have so many grand pens....that might not be true any more....but I don't care to 'test'...my top 7 pens are all # 1&2 now.

The top 15 are #3.

 

There comes a time when with enough fine nibbed pens, it don't really matter enough to 'test'. Take days to try to see what pen is #6.

Not worth the effort....if possible. Got to figure in which ink upgrades or down grades a nib.

To lazy.

very happy with a good number of fine nibs.....is an OB going to be better than an OM or is that fine F, grander than that fine M.

 

Don't matter with enough fine nibs. How can one compare a fine F to a fine B nib?

No, not really...

 

...at least, the clips do not match in the case of the 400 and 400N.
