An inscription on the cap ring: Gunter Wagner Pelikan Lam.

Hi Parcival,

 

This is really great to look at! It looks like an Italian overlay on a Pelikan 400 Black. The Pelikan 520 I have seen so far have a full green ink-window, not a striated black one like this one.

 

Is Lam related to Milano?  Is there any Milano engraving on the pen itself? How do you know it´s a Milano production?

 

Really interesting, thank you for sharing!!

In Milan was factory PeliKan. I've seen such a pen in two versions - with a transparent window and with one like mine. Pattern of both is the same, and the inscription. Just in different years have used a different pen for this model. Examples:

Lam. = laminato (gold plated in Italian) which makes sense for an Italian overlay and Pelikan production in Milan.

 

Very nice pen. Do you know when produced?

Are produced after 1950 and mine is about 1956 because it is a new type of Pelikan nib.
