Pelikan 100N
In 1937, Pelikan 100N was introduced initially just for the export market. “N” stood for "new". Rather than replacing model 100, model 100N was produced concurrently with model 100. Like model 100, Pelikan 100N can be categorized into "generations" by their production time, materials, and constructional characteristics. "Generations", not an official term, are based on Pelikan 100N Timeline, suggestions by Christof Zollinger, and my personal research. I use it for the descriptive purpose.
