Where did you find that 420?!? I've been looking for one for years now!

It was a lucky find, I bought it from a private that is the son of an ex Pelikan dealer. I have now two of them, together with a M430 and tortoise M450.

You're very lucky to have found them.

 

It seems to me that they're incredibly rare; in fact, there have been times when I've asked about them in reputable pen stores and been told that the pen doesn't/never existed.

Great additions to the flock Alfredo. I too have been in search of an M420 as well as an M415. I have the M425 and M430 already. I'm sure that I'll come across one someday. Enjoy yours.

I miss the M425 and the M415, I am quite sure that there are available M425 here in Italy somewhere, whereas there are no possibility to found a M415.

 

For this reason I am thinking to artificially make a M415 using an old style M400 tortoise barrell, a modern (not 2016 edition) tortoise cap and a deplated two tone M400 nib :D

My 760 finally arrived from Taiwan. Its an OB nib and does have the 150 Jubilee dates on its cap ring as well as W Germany. It is the prettiest pen I own!

Just got a beautiful 500NN pen & pencil set in the mail today. Should have my NOS yellow M910 Toledo by the end of the week.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Well done, that OB nib seems to be fantastic.

I don't have just one new addition to the flock but rather a full dozen. It almost feels like cheating. I had the opportunity to purchase the entire M620 Cities series at a very fair price that I simply could not pass up. After almost a year of discussion and negotiation, they have finally arrived. A very big thanks to Mike W. for entrusting me with his collection.

Well, just ... wow. Someone is a happy camper tonight. Congrats!

I know how you are about complete sets so this must give you real satisfaction, and it is a beautiful set. There are two or three of those I would like to have and the fact that they are in the 600 size range always tempts me. Congrats on a beautiflul set of pens.

Very nice Joshua! Thanks for sharing the picture too, it is now saved in my Pelikan info folder for future reference. You are double blessed, to have the opportunity to grab a complete set like that, then to have the means at the right time... we can only dream, but congrats to you sir! :notworthy1:
