    Description

    Very Rare Pelikan M481 Demonstrator
    Brand new, never inked, new old stock. *Stickered*
    Crystal clear acrylic, no plating loss on trims and nib. Piston operates as it should.
    This rare pen has only been manufactured for a very short time in the 1980s. Marked W-Germany.
    It is very similar to the demonstrator M200, the exception of a single cap band.
    Please see the cap top, without the Pelikan logo.
    There are absolutely no signs of wear except for one single scratch on the barrel, opposite to the sticker (very hard to photograph, hard to feel with a fingernail, see last photo). The scratch could be polished / buffed out, but I preferred to leave it untouched as found, and leave the decision to polish or not to the new owner.
    There are other NOS M481s for sale for about 1000 dollars currently, and others that have been used / inked for a lower price. I am offering a very good deal for the discerning collector.
