Pelikan 101N Tortoise (faux Tortoise made of Celluloid) Fountain Pen 1950s LAST Issue. Works as when new. Pen has zero cracks, splits or repairs etc. Made in Germany early 1950s. This example of the 101N was the final made. These 101N have unique features that separate them from the 30s and 40s examples. The Tortoise pattern is unique. The Dark Maroon Red Blind Cap and Piston housing (Tail End) and the Cap top above the clip are both made of Celluloid. 30’s and 40s were made of RHR (Red Hard Rubber). These 1950s examples are the model the re issue 101N Tortoise are based upon. The Front Section (part you hold when writing) on these 1950s example is also unique. It is the same as the early 400. Same internal design and same Nib and Feed assembly as an early 400. Ultra Rare to find this way on a 101N. The pen has no cracks, splits or repairs etc. The Tortoise has unique Patina and discolouration etc that is found on these 50s examples. The pen itself is structurally perfect with zero damage. The inner Green Barrel is MINT. All the patina within the Tortoise is superficial. The Clip and Ring bands are Yellow Gold plated and superb with zero plate loss. VERY rare to find such clean Gold trim. The item “Pelikan 101N Tortoise Celluloid Fountain Pen 1950s LAST Issue. 14K F Nib. Rare” is in sale since Sunday, August 8, 2021.
