If the M200 is your gateway to Pelikan fountain pens, then the M400 is the nice in-between: still as handy as the M200 but with a gold nib and not as expensive as the M600 or the M800. With its easy weight and reliable piston filler, it’s great for long writing sessions and is more than worthy to be part of your everyday carry. 

The M400 White Tortoiseshell, however, pushes the wow factor a bit further with its bright, eye-catching design. Released in 2002, this limited-edition pen remains popular long after it was discontinued. The opposite of the serious Stresemann, the White Tortoiseshell’s barrel has a playful and slightly translucent pattern of amber, yellow, and light green, backdropped with clean cream and accented by gold trims. It’s classy without being stiff, and it’s no wonder that it quickly sold out and remains one of the most sought-after M400s in the second-hand market. 

We have for sale a brand new Pelikan M400 White Tortoiseshell with an M nib. It comes complete with its box, papers, and other inclusions.
