I am selling my early 1980s Pelikan F nib.
The nib is smooth, with a tidy bit of feedback for control. The small 'flattish" tipping point is more reminiscent of 1950s-1960s Fs than modern Pelikan nibs. The line is a normal European fine. It's quite flexy, flexier than any post-1990s nibs from Pelikan and even some of the 1950/1960s I know.
It's a mediu-wet nib. From fabrication, the outer edge of the left tine may look a tiny bit different : see the pics.
Price: a new stiff M400 nib is more than 120 USD. I am selling this one for 77 Euros. Shipping: 15 USD tracked.

PS: the nib fits old 400 models, modern M2XX, M4XX, old style M600.
