A classic vintage Pelikan R200 Old Style rollerball pen in glossy black with gold-tone trim, marked W.-Germany on the cap band. Part of Pelikan’s 200-series writing instruments, this earlier rollerball has the clean, traditional proportions and understated desk-piece elegance that make vintage Pelikan pens so appealing.
The pen features a capped rollerball design with a black body, gold-tone clip and cap band, and the Pelikan logo medallion at the cap end. The W.-Germany marking gives it a strong vintage collector angle, placing it most likely in the late 1980s to early 1990s period. It includes a new black rollerball refill, making it ready to use or gift.
Why We Love It
This is a wonderfully classic writing instrument — polished black, warm gold trim, and just enough vintage detail to feel special without being flashy. It has that quiet, useful luxury that belongs on a desk, in a leather folio, or tucked into a well-loved stationery drawer.
Styling Notes
A handsome choice for everyday writing, correspondence, journaling, or gifting. It pairs beautifully with leather desk accessories, brass objects, vintage stationery, and classic notebooks. A strong gift option for a pen collector, graduate, Father’s Day, or anyone who appreciates a proper writing instrument.
