Description:
1950s Pelikan 140. An early export pen with barrel markings in burgundy. I have no idea why, but the captop photographed lighter than it looks under real lighting. Absolutely essential to any 140 collection.

PE1535, from 1957. Marked for Export, this pen shows light brassing and has a very uncommon EEF nib in the later logo style. The ink window is clouded.
$295.00.
