WTS/WTT Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoise

[vPro]

For sale/trade is a well-kept, yet used Pelikan M400 from the 1990's. No brassing or any other damage, only microscratches on the surface. Piston operates smoothly and holds 1.0-1.1mL of ink.
Pictures speak for themselves. I'm mostly interested in a trade for a slightly larger pen with a piston or vacuum filling system, such as the Pelikan M600/M605, Pilot Custom 823, Sailor Professional Gear Realo, Delta Dolcevita, Aurora Optima or maybe even something else! Feel free to offer! Any nib size is welcome. If you don't have a pen and you want to buy mine with money, please send an offer. However, I prefer a trade.

Please note that the 14K 'OM' nib shown in the picture is a custom ground oblique cursive italic nib . It is a lovely writer with amazing line variation but it requires an experienced user. Alternatively, I can provide the pen with a 50's Pelikan 400 nib if you prefer that.
FOR TRADES: I prefer trades within the EU due to customs and import fees.

I have a pilot custom 823 with a FA nib. i purchased it for line variation but realized I have no pressure variation in my downstroke so need a stub or italic nib that will allow variation with steady writing pressure. I would gladly send pictures if I had your e-mail address.

I wish we could've worked something out - the pen is still available.
