Vintage Serviced PELIKAN 400NN Rolled Gold Fountain Pen 14k OM- Oblique Medium Nib.
The pen is in very good condition, as you can see on the pictures. The pen had a hairline which was sealed, and doesn’t impact the technical functionality of the pen.
The nib writes well and the pen has received a service, which included thorough cleaning and lubrication of moving parts with silicone.
Oblique Medium nib is very rare to come by, meant to help left handed writers. It can also be used by right handed people.
About the oblique nibs:
Historically, Pelikan's nibs had a square tip which means they gave a good line variation when writing - a little bit italic. If you are left handed, there is a good chance that you hold the pen in the ‘wrap around’ grip to prevent the side of your palm from smudging the words you have just written before the ink dries. When the different hold is used, the nib would not sit flat on its smooth edge and often would dig into the page on one of its sharp edges - not good! It would make the nib feel scratchy, write inconsistently and sometimes flick ink as it jumped when the edge lost its grip. To fix this, Pelkan produces the OBLIQUE range which has a slanted tip of around 15 degrees. This meant that the nib still sat flat when this grip was used.
Now many people who did not use the same grip could still use an Oblique nib comfortably by adjusting the angle the pen met the paper and often this would give a more pronounced italic script as the flat tip of the nib was longer and therefore left a wider line than the standard version, but the cross strokes were still as thin.
Shipping takes 10-30 days worldwide, usually there are no custom duties for my customers, however I cannot guarantee this, thus any possible customs chargers are the buyers response.
The pen is guaranteed authentic.
