Preowned Pelikan M760 150th Anniversary Limited Edition Fountain Pen

Preowned Pelikan M760 150th Anniversary Limited Edition Fountain Pen

The Pelikan M760 150th Anniversary fountain pen was released in 1988 to commemorate Pelikan's 150th anniversary.

The pen listed here is preowned but in excellent condition. It shows very few signs of usage, and effectively no damage. It has a 14kt gold nib that was tested on July 24, 2023, and was found to be perfectly operational, with a rich flow, and mild feedback. The text seen in the images was actually written with the particular pen. 

The M760 150th Anniversary was released before the introduction of limited editions, so although the pens do carry unique serial numbers etched near the piston knob and come with guarantees with matching numbers the production was not limited.

In fact, production is believed to have run from 1988 to 1995, with some variations in aspects of the pen, including e.g. the presence of the numbers 1838 - 1988 in the earlier vs. their absence in later editions.

The M760 Jubilee fountain pen is developed on the M400 basis, it has a metallic barrel and cap that is gold coated and is engraved in a fine barley pattern.

The M760 Jubilee Edition fountain pen was normally offered with an 18kt gold nib, but catalogues allowed buyers to order with a 14kt gold nib. This pen uses Pelikan's standard piston filling system. It has a screw-on cap and a green transparent ink window.

These pens represent a very interesting part of Pelikan's history.
