The "Pelikan 400NN M&K" is a model manufactured in 1973 by MERTZ & KRELL, a related company of Pelikan at the time, in response to the Japanese market's demand for a revival of the masterpiece fountain pen 400NN from the 1950s-60s, making it a relatively young vintage. However, you can fully enjoy the charm of vintage fountain pens, not only with its classical form but also with its ebonite feed and tasteful barrel color. Also, the softness of the nib varies greatly depending on the individual pen, and finding a writing feel that suits you is one of the unique pleasures of this fountain pen. Nib: Luxurious 14-karat gold. Feed: No misalignment, and the ink flow is good. Nib width: EF (Extra Fine). This is the most popular nib width because it makes it easy to write fine Japanese characters. This is a rare model that is no longer available new. It is a used item made decades ago, so there are minor scratches, but there are no major scratches, and it is quite clean considering its age. There are no cracks, so there is no ink leakage, and there are no engravings of names or company names.
