Beginning in 1954, the two chick logo in use at the time was engraved on all the cap tops that followed.

The 140 Pen has no piston filler and need to be checked, the fillers are still to get at a local Pelikan dealer. Please check the pictures as there are some tiny wear and tears. The 350 Pencil comes with a filler and works fine, but has also to be checked as both of these are over 75 years of age. Collector items!
