Pelikan M400 Green Stripe, XXF Nib

Pelikan M400 Green Stripe, XXF Nib

Condition: B+. 

No brassing, chips, cracks, dings or significant scratches. This pen is one we took on trade. Very clean pen. Someone did some altering on the nib and we are unsure of who's work it is. While the grind on this XXF nib is not an architect grind, it does behave similarly to one giving a slightly larger cross stroke than down. The 14K nib provides a 0.3 line width on the down stroke and closer to 0.4 mm on the cross stroke.

Piston filler.

Pen Length: 4³¹⁄₃₂" (126 mm) capped, 5¹³⁄₁₆" (148 mm) posted. 

We grade pens according to the following condition scale. Within a grade, we use + or – to indicate shades of variation; for example, a pen that is B+ falls into the B grade and shows so little use that it is only marginally not A2.
