Fourth generation

Pelikan 110 (ca.1933)

This is model 110. What’s important is not the model itself but the combination of the cap and the body. It has a tapered grip section characteristic of the fourth generation (ca.1933-), while it has 4 vent holes cap (the third generation) (ca.1931-) (Fig.1). The combination may be original, unless the body or the cap was replaced (the possibility may be slim, as model 110 is very rare: Green Book). The cap tube has the groove in it (Fig.2). So, it seems that Günter Wagner utilized the parts of the preceding generation. This may be another example of transitional pens.
