The Pelikan 100N, produced from 1937 until some time in the early 1950s, is larger and more streamlined than the classic Pelikan 100 and holds correspondingly more ink. Early models have the same hard rubber charm; late models, with their synthetic seals, make tough and reliable little workhorses. There are two capband styles for 100Ns, as the photograph shows. We tend to have slightly more pens of the two-capband style come through the site. The pens described below have correct parts for the years listed unless otherwise noted. Nibs swaps are usually possible, and more details are available on request.

AB24: 1938 Pelikan 100N in green stripe. This is an extraordinarily clean early pen with celluloid barrel and cork filler. The nib is a 14 Karat double incised script fine to medium. A very fine user or an equally fine addition to a basic collection. $450. SOLD

PE3567: 1950 Pelikan 100N in light green pearl with fluted clip and cap band. This is a clean postwar pen with acrylic barrel and plastic seal. The nib is a 14 Karat double incised script oblique medium. A very fine user as well as a fine addition to any collection. $395.
