Filling Mechanism: Piston Filler

Originally designed to be a neon highlighter, this is the perfect Pelikan curio for dedicated collectors and anyone who loves a good writer. We include the mostly-full bottle of Pelikan highlighter ink! It looks and performs just as you would expect a highlighter marker to look. Some might consider this the neon-yellow demonstrator model, as you can see all the moving parts and ink inside it. Even some stuck dried ink. Our preowned Pelikan Souveran M205 is in excellent condition with minimal wear. We regreased the piston mechanism, and it operates smoothly. You might really like its super-smooth steel double broad nib, too. Better than a marker! The logo on top of the cap is a black field with a silver mama pelican and a single chick.

Pelikan pens remain some of our very favorite pens out of Europe. This earlier Pelikan Souveran M400 is no exception. In fact, it is part of the reason why we love this brand so much.

Check out the earlier 14k gold nib. You'll write a smooth fine line. The imprinted logo on top of the cap is gold-filled and showcases a mama pelican with two chicks. 12.6cm capped.

Our Omas Jerusalem 3000 fountain pen honors the incredible history of one of the Holy Land's most famous cities. Not only is this preowned luxury pen a stunning, sleek black writing instrument, it has a superb 18k gold nib. You will write a buttery smooth broad line. Also perfect for signing ceremonies, as well as collecting. Only the lightest of wear from use is visible on the pen. You fill it with a piston that is activated by a "blind" tail cap.

Advertising pens don't usually make their way on to our website. However, we think this is an exception you will love! Our hard-to-find Montblanc 334 1/2 fountain pen features the company logo on the top of the cap (instead of the usual Montblanc logo) along with the company name on the side of the cap: Hamburg-Sudamerikanishe Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft. For those who don't speak German, the "Hamburg-South America Steamship Company." We aren't certain, but we think this pen is from the early 1950s. From the collection of a dedicated Montblanc enthusiast, this pen was restored a few years ago and still works well. It has wear and brassing from use but no cracks. The underside of the barrel looks as if it might have a crack, but the barrel is smooth and holds ink well. You will write a buttery smooth line with its 14k STUB NIB. Extra-fine to about 1mm wide!

Given the total lack of ink staining any part of this Omas 630 Demo, we think it might be new old stock! No cracks. No deep scratches. Not much, if any, wear. We did not dip its golden alloy nib, as it might be a NOS pen. However, if you click the headline for close-ups, you will see it is marked "F" for fine. Slender. Light weight. Nice Greek key cap band. 13.2cm capped.

As if bronze arco celluloid wasn't enough to get you excited, this is the grand poobah Omas Grand Paragon pen. Larger than a standard Paragon, ours measures 14.75cm long. The height of Italian luxury pen making, this is a stunner for any collector. It is tough to see at a glance, but there is some wear on this pen that is quite visible up close. No cracks, deep scratches, brassing or other serious flaws. Just lots of wear from daily use. We found it by luck, as it came in an Omas Milord box with a leather sleeve. This was obviously not a Milord the second we set eyes on it. Click the headline for a close-up. You will write a medium-broad line with its 18k gold nib. There's a little light feedback, too. Its piston still operates smoothly.

Many people go ga-ga for the stunning Omas Arco designs, but the blue-and-orange "Saffron" design really blows our mind. This is the large Omas Paragon at 14.1cm in length while capped. It is in good working order, with a smooth piston fill. It does have some wear from use but no cracks, brassing or deep scratches. Also included are its original boxes and papers. Beyond the stunning celluloid is a delightfully smooth two-tone 18k gold nib that writes a juicy medium line. This one sports the year 1997 on the section. Click the headline for close-ups.
