In 1878's Wagner added the name "Pelikan" from one of the elements in his family crest: a pelican feeding four chicks in its nest. The Pelikan factory produced ink, paints, glue, type writer ribbons, stencils, stamp pads and carbon paper. In 1929's the first fountain pen was launched: the "Pelikan 100", a piston filler designed by the engineers Theodor Kovacs and Carola Bako. In the 1930's the 100 series were remodelled and the letter N (for "new") was added.During WWII gold was hard to obtain and nibs of chromium/nickel-plated steel were produced, so-called CN nibs. In the 1950's the clip got redesigned in the shape of a pelican beak. After Wagner’s retirement his son-in-law and successor Fritz Beindorff led the company to become one of the world’s leading makers of fountain pens. In the 1970's Pelikan Schoolpens, together with those of Geha were the most popular pens in Germany. "PELIKAN" SOUVERÄN circa 1997's M 400 GREEN - STRIPED FOUNTAIN PEN. Possibly the most recognizable of colors, the Green - Striped has been a part of Pelikan's color palate since 1950's. Some might say this color is "old hat", but the truth lies closer to "a classic", especially given the long reputation for durability, reliability and enduring style for this Souverän series M 400. Part of Pelikan's signature Souverän series, the Pelikan M 400 Green Stripe with Gold Trim is perhaps the most iconic color combination associated with the Pelikan line of fountain pens. With its green striped semi-translucent body and warm gold on the clip and ring bands, this fountain pen will seem to many the quintessential Pelikan pen. The M 400 is one of the more compact pens on the Pelikan size chart. Though relatively small, this size pen has been the workhorse of Pelikan's since 1950's as it has a great presence with its close attention to trim and finish. Pelikan's reliable piston - filler system gives this pen a generous ink capacity.
