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 one of 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.

The legendary Pelikan 100N is one of the most sought after pens from this wonderful German manufacturer. This is a Series 1 pen (1937-1949) and is characterized by its  fluted clip and single cap ring, the later series 2 models (1949-1954) have a smooth clip and two seperate cap rings.

The pen is in very good condition with minor signs of age and wear. The imprint on the clip screw is clear and legible. There is a little plating wear to the clip but the cap ring is sound.

It is fitted with a lovely smooth Extra Fine nib which has a soft flex to it. It has been fully serviced with new seals fitted. The nib is totally original to the pen
