Product Name Model 100N
Manufacturer and Year Pelikan, Germany -- late 1940s or 1950s

Filling System Piston filling system, working well.
Color Green striated marble barrel with opaque green viewing window. The pen section is a very slightly transparent dark green and it has a black cap and end piece with gold trim.
Nib This is a 14k DF nib. DF nibs are very stiff to be used for precise copying. Many DF nibs have two breather holes. The Pelikan one does not but it does have a thicker nib to gain a similar effect. The D stands for Durchschreib-Feder. The F stands for fine. There is a surface scratch on the left tine.
Condition Excellent condition. There are some faint scratches on the inside of the section lip just beneath the nib but it looks nice (the whole section and barrel are made of clear green plastic). There's a little bit of brassing on the clip band and some patina on the cap band.
