A great opportunity to get a beautiful gold nib on the cheap. This is a KM nib, with its original ebonite feed and collar. It is very smooth, with a tad of feedback for control, and a line closer to a Japanese M than you might expect from a Pel. It is very “shady” and flexy (see writing sample) and quite a joy to write with.

Price: A modern, blobby, stiff M400 nib is more than 120 USD today. I offer this 1950s gold nib for 77 USD.
Postage: it’s usually 15 USD for tracked, uninsured shipping, but it also depends on country.
The nib fits Pelikan 400 models, M200, M205, M215, M400, M405, etc.
