Condition and information:
Offered here is the first model MK line the type 1, in it Rolled Gold model, also known as M30, made in late 1960s. These MK pens are one of the most reliable Pelikan pens of the late 60s and early 70s. The M30 rolled gold line is a class up from the MK10/MK20 lines, these were considered one of the best at the time, made out of more refined materials such as the black resin and also featured a solid gold nib. (Some of these pens in the 60-70s bore PK30 insignia on the rings, but those were made for export only, and are identical to these pens). The pens are stunning, both in look, appeal and quality. The set offered here is in a true NOS condition, comes in its original very nice vivid red leather Pelikan pouch, nearly impossible to find in such condition. These are one of the most reliable and elegant Pelikan pens, extremely well build, meant to last and endure hard work for years. The fountain pen has a very beautiful clear see through purple-blue ink window and a smooth piston. It sports a rather special nib which is not made nowadays, a truly flexible F fine size, which is also strange for a semi-hooded nib. The nib will write any ticker line with a gentle pressure, surprisingly flexible nib. Very smooth nib, since unused it will quickly adapt to the new owners style. Piston is one of the best piston systems invented by Pelikan, consisting of 8 parts and marketed by Pelikan as Airplane safe is it won't leak ink on pressure variations. The set features its original ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil, both with super precise push button mechanisms and solid brass mechanism on the mechanical pencil with nice "click" sound when clicked. This series are very reliable, work and write perfectly. All in all, one of the best Pelikan pens of its era.
