Condition and information:
One of the rarest and highest quality Silvexa pens made in the late 60s and early 70s. The pen is a rare sub-model of the Silvexa 20 line, the M21 line, with black resin body and stainless steel brushed cap. The Slivexa pens are renowned for their reliability and build quality. The Silvexa line together with the Rolled Gold lines were the high-end flagship pens of all M, MK and P series Pelikan pens, which were launched in the early 60s as a new modern, space era inspired pens. The fountain pen features a very nice and precise EF nib 14K gold nib, white gold, so it fits the color theme of the silver plated cap. This nib is great for clean and precise writing, such as notebook writing with a small typeface. It has a constant ink flow with no excess ink, very clean pen to write with. When the cap is posted (placed on top of the pen), it gives the pen the necessary balance. The logo is inlaid in a enamel like style on the top of the cap. Clear see through purple ink window and smooth piston. This piston system is one of the best piston systems invented by Pelikan, consisting of 8 parts, takes considerable amount of ink and it was marketed as Airplane safe as it did not leak ink in different pressure variations. This was achieved by a special feed system and also almost airtight cap to body fit. High-quality pen, great appeal, one of the best everyday reliable Pelikan pens.
