    Default Help Identifying Pelikan Pens

    I am helping out a friend, who's husband recently pass, get rid of a pen collection she does not want.
    There are a total of 3 Pelikan pens.
    The 2 green pens in the pictures state W. Germany in the caps, while the silver pen states just Germany.
    I am unsure of the model numbers, and am looking for a little help.
    Please see the pictures below, and if you need any further information please let me know.
    Right now I am just looking for information.






    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    Ebay completed sales search.

    ETA: your best bet on all these pens you are asking about is just to put them up individually on eBay and see what they get.

    If you do put them up, good pictures, esp of nib & bodies will help get you top dollar. Also, stagger the sales, so you don't compete against yourself.

    Others may have different ideas, but I think these are valid, if incomplete.
    Clearly they had a higher and more comprehensive conception of the duties of society toward it's members than had the lawgivers of Europe of the time, and they imposed obligations upon it that were shirked elsewhere... But it is the provisions for public education which, from the very first, throw into the clearest relief the originality of American civilization.

    When listing, please draw attention to the fact the m800 has a 14k nib. This means it's an early model and should sell for a higher price. Later models of the m800 were/are fitted with 18k nibs, but the 14k ones date back to the late 1980's. Try also to include a picture of the writing around the cap that says W.Germany, and the metal disc which should be inlaid to the bottom of the pen. These will add further evidence to the pen being an older, and rarer, Pelikan.
