Pelikan pens have been made in Hanover, Germany since the late 1920's. The piston system, used by all the major European manufacturers, was invented by Pelikan and virtually the same system is still in use today. Pelikan pens were built to very strict tolerances and as a result they have the enviable reputation of being the most reliable pens ever made.

Most pen experts recognise Pelikan as superior to all of the other European manufacturers, including Montblanc! The vintage models, especially, are very much sought after.

This is a Pelikan M30, made around 1968.  The M30 is a piston filler and this version is finished in black with a rolled gold cap and a gold plated clip. It is in fabulous condition with very minor marks and no plating wear. There is a 'Bayer' logo on the barrel - see photo.

The pen is fitted with a lovely Medium nib which is totally original to the pen. The piston fillling system has been fully serviced and lubricated and it now works perfectly.
