Not a happy thread, but let's pour out a little ink for those missing pens! I recently lost my blue Pelikan K400 that we signed our marriage certificate with. Dropped somewhere between the car and day care, it's either been run over, skittered into a gutter or possibly, picked up by someone who saw it for what it was and has a free luxury jotter now. I get that it's just a pen, but if anyone one understands my frustration at myself for not paying enough attention it'll be most of ya'll! RIP K400.

Hello, I joined this forum recently to inquire about my pen, mainly out of curiosity. Then, mere weeks later, after over 20 years of carrying it in my pocket daily, it was suddenly lost, most likely forever. There is none other I'd want to carry in my pocket except that rollerpoint pen, or at least a duplicate would be the least painful replacement. Can anyone here offer any clues about where I might locate another one? It was purchased new in 1993 from the original Sharper Image store, and from a response in another thread, I understand The Sharper Image might have commissioned only small runs of their pen models, but I suspect they made more than one of this pen, and some might still be floating around out there. From photos, the closest thing I've seen in terms of shape and part dimensions seems to be by Donitrio. But my pen's body was fully metal. The closest thing I've seen in terms of style is the Aurora Ipsilon Quadra full sterling body, but that is smaller and lighter. I'm not convinced that it was the same caliber of pen offered by those higher end companies, especially since the pocket clip was not so finely formed. Any insights or hints you can provide on how to search for such an obscure and possibly un-namable pen would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your consideration.
