For sale is a vintage Pelikan 140 in burgundy with gold trim and a 14C manifold nib. The condition is excellent with only typical light/moderate wear to the cap, barrel and trim from use and age. No dings, dents, deep scratches or noticeable brassing to the trim. It is, of course, a piston filler and only fills from a bottle. The piston mechanism is in working order. 140s occasionally have an issue with barrel shrinkage around their sections. This one seems without that problem. I was able to screw the nib unit in and out without issue. Manifold nibs are very firm; they were made for use with carbon forms. Though firm, this nib writes smoothly. I would say its line is similar to a standard vintage Pelikan fine. There is a barrel imprint right above the piston knob. It is not crisp but reads Export Gunther Wagner Germany. $125 including shipping in the USA; will accept PayPal or check money order. Thank you.
