PE-60: Pelikan 400 Brown Tortoise, rare (copy) nib

> Sold Pens

Pelikan 400 Brown Striated. PF. Early feed. Cap imprinted "Pelikan" Unique nib: 18 kt, rare double vent holes designed for producing copies. Measues: 5-0 " ( 127 mm). Condition: Extra fine. Simultaneously with the introduction of the nibs with the Pelikan logo in December 1954, manifold nibs with specific characteristics were produced, including nibs with a second air hole designed to make carbon copies. The second air hole, much closer to the tip of the nib, makes the nib very firm with virtually no flex even with considerable pressure, thus allowing carbon copies to be produced. The pen with this nib is relatively uncommon and very collectible.
