There is something truly magical about opening a pen box that has been closed for nearly 40 years. Imagine a small, traditional European stationery shop in the late 1980s, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. This Pelikan was carefully placed in its display case, tagged for sale, and then... simply put away in a stockroom and forgotten. Today, it emerges as a perfect survivor from a bygone era of exceptional craftsmanship.
Finding an early-generation Pelikan M400 is always a pleasure, but finding one in True New Old Stock (NOS) condition is exceptionally rare today. This isn't just an old pen; it is a pristine collector's dream that ticks all the most demanding boxes:
The "W. Germany" Imprint: This dates the pen strictly to the period between 1982 (the relaunch of the M400) and 1990. It carries the historical weight of a divided Germany.
Original Factory Tags: It still wears its original gold "M 400" clip tag and the pristine "14C EF" sticker on the barrel. The presence of both stickers is incredibly scarce.
The Coveted Monotone Nib: Fitted with a flawless 14-carat gold monotone nib in Extra Fine (EF). Vintage Pelikan enthusiasts know that these early W. Germany nibs are vastly superior to modern productions. They offer a true, precise fine line with a delightful springiness and soft cushion that modern rigid Pelikan nibs simply do not have. The feed and fins are absolutely immaculate.
The Classic Details: Features the beautiful, deep green celluloid acetate binde (which has a lovely translucency to check ink levels) and the classic engraved two-chick logo on the cap top.
Brand: Pelikan
Model: M400 Souverän
Finish: Green/Black Striated with Gold trim
Nib: 14K Solid Gold, Monotone, Extra Fine (EF)
Filling System: Piston Filler (The piston turns smoothly. The pen has never been inked to preserve its NOS status).
Era: 1982-1990 (West Germany)
Condition: Mint / NOS. Absolutely no scratches, cracks, or signs of use.
Included: Original vintage Pelikan presentation hard case.
Whether you are a serious Pelikan collector looking for a museum-grade piece, or a writer seeking the legendary feel of an 80s Pelikan EF nib, this is a rare opportunity to buy a "brand new" vintage pen.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
