Back when I was in grade 8, I used to own a Pelikano. Unfortunately I was quite naive back then and one by one lost quite a few fountain pens or lost them to class thieves, but of all my memories the P450 was to me the best of the best. I still remember to this day that when my Pelikano got stolen I was in tears and although they were not the first tears for a lost fountain pen, they were the most significant ones. Although it was just 3-5$ back in the day I assume it will be much more expensive if I come across any anymore. I have been off these forums for ages, so am really not up to the mark but would love it if anyone could point me to anyone who still sells them i.e the Pelikano P450 2000-2003 year model. I would even be willing to give sacrifice a Black Pilot Metropolitan (with box very sparingly used bought from UAE) or be willing to PIF it on your behalf if anyone would want to part with one or two of their Pelikano P450's in exchange. Looking forward to your help friends
