AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pelikan 140 Vintage 1950s – 14 Karat / 585 Solid Gold DF Nib (Through-Copy Nib) – Rare Rarity
No personal engraving available.
⸻
A true classic of German writing instrument culture: the Pelikan 140 in the characteristic green-striped finish, produced in the 1950s/1960s.
A special feature variant is the original 14 karat / 585 gold nib in nib width DF (Durchschreibefeder Fein / through-copy fine nib). This comparatively stiff specialty nib was designed for a precise writing style and for writing duplicates, and today it’s an interesting variant for Pelikan collectors.
The fountain pen features the classic Pelikan piston filling mechanism, a green striped body, a black cap, and gilded fittings.
