Two Superb Vintage 1950`s Pelikan 400 Fountain Pens With 14K Gold Nibs L: 13,2 cm

This item is secondhand and in good condition. Both pens are dry. The original 400 ran from May 25, 1950 until sometime early in 1956. Its design was the embodiment of classic styling and it introduced the striped barrel pattern that has since become as much of an icon for Pelikan as their logo. The cap top is home to Pelikan's former two chick logo and is surrounded by a gold-plated crown nut holding an inner cap and beak clip in place. The single cap band can be found with engraving - Pelikan 400 Germany.  The stripes on the majority of these models alternate between opaque and translucent in order to allow for viewing the remaining amount of ink in the pen. The cap is constructed with a metal liner, presumably engineered to help prevent cracking. The nibs are found in 14C-585 gold and the pen is refilled by a plunger mechanism - unscrewing the bottom and then dipping in ink

Each pen measures 13,2 cm in length. Please view images as part of description. Welcome to combine items.
