During the 1950s, Pelikan consolidated its reputation with the 400 series, a model that combines elegance and functionality in a classic and timeless design. The "Green Striated" version features a translucent celluloid body with green striated stripes that capture light in a subtle and attractive way.

This model incorporates a reliable and easy-to-use plunger loading system integrated into a robust and comfortable body. The screw cap ensures a secure closure, and the gold-plated clip adds a touch of class. The two-tone 14-karat gold nib, marked and fine, offers smooth and precise writing.

The Pelikan 400 Green Striated is today a coveted piece by collectors who value its design, quality and the history it represents in the evolution of post-war European fountain pens.
