Product Description
Type Modern fountain pen
Product Name P3100 Ductus
Manufacturer and Year Pelikan, Germany -- 2007 - 10. This pen was produced 2007-14, and the painted cap logo dates it to the earlier half of this period.
Length 5-9/16 inches
Filling System Pelikan calls this a cartridge/converter filler, but there's a caveat. The blind cap reveals a tray which will hold one long international cartridge or two short ones. You can also use an international style converter, but you'll have to fill the converter directly from the bottle, as the piston knob will be unaccessible when it is seated in the tray. An unused cartridge is present in the tray - simply remove the cartridge and flip it 180 degrees, allowing the section nipple to pierce it.
Color Black lacquer over brass, with pinstripe detailing on the cap and blind cap (reverse of Pelikan's usual coloring scheme, where the cap and blind cap are usually black/solid, and the barrel is "fancy"). A real classic with a twist.
Nib MEDIUM 18k nib, palladium plated to match the rest of the pen's trim. This is a sort of "shovel" shaped nib, a departure from Pelikan's familiar Souveran style.
Condition Near mint condition, in box. Gorgeous looking with very little wear, just microscratching on the trim and plastic. No cracks, scratches or plating wear. In Pelikan box, with original hangtag attached to clip.
