PELIKAN M400 TORTOISESHELL FOUNTAIN PEN WITH 14K GOLD NIB

Pelikan M400 Tortoiseshell Fountain Pen with 14K Gold Nib. Few designs capture the imagination of the fountain pen community like a tortoise release from Pelikan. The tortoise finish goes all the way back to the earliest days of Pelikan’s foray into fountain pens. Forums can frequently be found with posts lamenting the lack of a tortoiseshell variant of one model or another. The M400 feels solid in the hand and all of the components fit together with precision. The barrel is made of cellulose acetate and the cap, section, and piston knob are done in resin. While the M400 is light in weight (0.53 ounces), it does not feel cheap and the seams are not easily visible. As usual, construction and quality are not a concern which is as it should be for a pen with this outlay. The piston is super smooth resulting in hassle free filling and use. The cap can be quickly unscrewed to get to the writing task at hand and I have never experienced the cap unintentionally coming loose in the pocket. The trim ring at the section persist and I doubt we’ll ever see it go away. This can cause issues down the road as contact with ink can cause the plating to corrode over time (seen with well used pens on the secondary market). Still, with proper care and handling, the M400 should last indefinitely. Stamped Pelikan Gunther agner Germany. Ref: BD3403
