Pelikan M400 in Brown Tortoiseshell from the early 1980s - cap logo .jpeg
Mercian posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Mercian’s pens
This is just to show the logo on the top of the cap of my early-1980s Pelikan M400 in Brown Tortoiseshell. The incised lines of the logo have been filled with brown paint, to match the pen’s body. The contemporary M400 fountain pens in Pelikan’s traditional Grün-schwarz stripes had their cap logos filled with green paint.

Pelikan M400 in Brown Tortoiseshell from early 1980s - the stripes.jpeg

From the album: Mercian’s pens
This picture shows the variation in the colours of the cellulose-acetate stripes on my brown tortoise. The ones around the other side of the pen are almost uniformly dark brown. This variability makes each brown tortoise unique and, in my mind at least, the irregularities in the colours of the stripes add to their beauty.

My Pelikan M400 in Brown Tortoiseshell, in its clamshell box. It has a 14k ‘M’ nib, and is in very nice condition. It has a screw-in nib, not one of the earliest friction-fit nib units, but its nib design shows that it is from the earlier part of the production run of these pens. This picture shows how very brown its cap and piston-turning knob are. The grip-section is also this colour. In less-bright light they can seem to be black, but they’re the colour of dark chocolate (nom nom nom!).
