Consignment, now it is your chance for this treasure!
Buying Consignment from us means trusted eyeballs and hands are between you and an unknown seller on the web. We do our best to take great pics and give you a description of the item and any issues. Of course, no returns or exchanges, but if there is a factory warranty we will help you as a dealer.
The price is a balance of condition and how rare something is, along with what the seller wants. Penchetta has an 75/25 split (we get the smaller part) and while we offer advice, we don't set the final price.
Condition: Excellent condition, no scratches or dings, inked, cleaned, writes smoothly.
Does NOT come with original box or papers.
In 1982 Pelikan re-established the production of high-quality fountain pens. In 1965, Pelikan stopped producing the 400NN, and after this Merz & Krell only produced it for a period. The return to old values is shown by the fact that the only substantial difference between the new M400 and the old 400 is the feed. Modern feeds are produced by injection molding, so finer fins are possible, which run across rather than along the length of the nib.
The nib units of the first production are friction-fit, after a short time the nib units were threaded and were for screwing in. It is interesting to note that this development is also a commonality of the M400 with the model Pelikan 400 of the 1950th.
The Pelikan logo was made to correspond to the type of pen, so that pens in a case could be rapidly identified. The fountain pen´s logo was still in the matching color, while the rollerball´s logo is grey. The models after 1st of September 1997 have uniform design marks and the style was upgraded with double decorative rings on the filling knob, a second ring on the cap and a ring on the grip section.
