Product Description

Product Name 140 (Marked on Cap trim)
Manufacturer and Year Pelikan - Germany, circa 1954. (In 1954 they started putting the model number on the cap band, which this has, and after 1954 they didn't imprint the barrel with the Guenther Wagner imprint, which this does not have, so we date this right around 1954.)
Length 4-7/8"
Filling System Piston filling system
Color Green striped transparent barrel, black cap and end pieces. Gold plated trim.
Nib Oblique Medium flexible 14k nib. See writing sample, below.
Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a classically designed pen in a great color with excellent barrel transparency. The barrel has light to moderate scratching, with most of the marks near the end of the barrel just above the black end piece. The cap is nice and shiny with just some light scratching. The cap band has plating wear. The clip and clip ring also have plating wear and some pitting at the top of the clip. The imprints are clear.
