Length: 12.5 cm
Diameter: 1.16 cm
Nib: F
Period: 1980s–1990s
Materials: Marbled brown resin with a tortoiseshell effect and translucent veining in the barrel, which also serves as an ink window; cap, section, and piston knob in dark brown resin; pelican-beak-shaped clip, crown, and cap ring gold-plated, with “PELIKAN” engraved on the ring; 14-karat (585) gold nib engraved with the pelican and an ebonite feed.
