Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Never Inked, Mint Condition 2018 Pelikan M1000 Limited Edition Spirit of 1838 - 180th Anniversary Fountain Pen fitted with an 18K Medium Nib. This fountain pen has never seen ink and comes with the original Pelikan Spirit of 1838 literature, warranty card, and original inner and outer boxes. I consider this Pelikan in New Old Stock, Never Inked, Mint Condition.

The Spirit of 1838 is a limited edition fountain pen based on the M1000 model. The Pelican beak clip, fittings, and barrel are all made of sterling silver. This makes this M1000 heavier than the standard edition models - this one is weighing 48.5 grams. The barrel of the pen displays longitudinal lines along the entire length of the sterling sleeve. The barrel is engraved to commemorate the anniversary with, “180 Years Pelikan 1838 – 2018”.  Near the piston knob, the stamp Ag925 indicates the silver content. This model features the standard Souverän trim, which includes one trim ring on the section, two trim rings on the piston knob, and two cap bands. The end of the piston knob is engraved with the edition number, 70/180. The cap top depicts the standard single chick logo adorned with three genuine diamonds along the nest.  These diamonds are meant to represent trust, reliability, and production in Germany.  

This fountain pen is perfect - there are absolutely no nicks, chips, cracks, or repairs to this fountain pen. The cap banding is stamped with, "PELIKAN GERMANY 180 YEARS". The cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. This Pelikan measures 5 3/4" inches in length capped and 6 7/8" inches posted.

The Piston Filler works with such ease in my tests with water. The piston filler works flawlessly and operates smoothly. Again, I refrained from inking the fountain pen only to keep it in New Old Stock condition. This pen has never been used/inked before and is in New Old Stock condition. 

The NIB is an 18C - 750 Rhodium plated with a medium point. The actual fountain pen tipping/iridium measures .84mm when measured using digital calipers. This pen was never inked nor did I ink it only to keep it in New Old Stock condition for the new collector. The nib has a special engraving just for the anniversary, "1838 -2018 Pelikan 18C - 750 M".

In 1832, chemist Carl Hornemann established a paint and ink company near Hanover, Germany, which later became known as Pelikan. The company’s official founding date is considered April 28th, 1838, as this marks the release of their first price list. Consequently, all anniversaries are celebrated from this date, making 2018 the 180th anniversary of the brand. In celebration, Pelikan unveiled a limited edition fountain pen named the Spirit of 1838.

This is a special Pelikan and extremely desirable. Only 180 of these pens were made worldwide. This one is in New Old Stock, Mint Condition, and never been inked. It comes with all the original packaging and literature. This Pelikan is a high-cachet fountain pen that is extremely collectible - an heirloom piece. It is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection!
