Which one was it?

[konis]

I think it is Pelikan M 400 Tortoise - barel with piston mechanism.

As my M 400 Black.

This appears to be a prototype made using the same tortoiseshell binde as used on the brown M101N. Guess the people at Pelikan were experimenting with this stuff when coming up with the design of the M101N.

Agreed. I've seen a few of these pop up on eBay from time to time.

Indeed, it is not the regular M400 tortoise but the tortoiseshell as on the brown M101N.

 

I have asked the same question some time ago on a pen that I bought from the same seller:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/293622-identify-please-pelikan-m600-souveraen-in-mother-of-pearl/

 

That seller sold at least three of these barrels over the last 1.5 year.

Thanks. I like the looks of the tortoise green material very much and should have adjusted my bid... Stupid me

I wish I had seen that before it ended!

Sorry, this is the pen barrel. It has an M600 chasis not M400. Pen is still incomplete as I have yet to find its cap & nib. Will post again photos of a complete pen.

 

Side by side with M101N green tortoise.

Thanks for this comparison. Can you confirm that the pattern on the two pens is identical, not just 'merely similar'.

[daenghafez]

The patterns of the pens are identical. IMHO it came from the same binde of the M101N green tortoise.

Did it come with a complete and working piston system? If so, it's really tempting... must keep my eye out because it is quite attractive. Even with a black cap it'd work for me. (like I need anything else on my list )

[daenghafez]

Yes, it did. Just need to find its cap & nib now. I'm contemplating of putting an old style yellow gold nib.
