On February 22, 1937, new AUCH-Pelikan 200 was introduced. The pencils became decorated with a color sleeve and two rings in the mid-portion (Fig.2), reminding us of model 100. Different from model 100, there is no step between grip and sleeve (Fig.2). The conventional all black 200 remained in production (Fig.8) (Pelikan catalog No.70 (1938)). In addition, new "Pelikan logo" and fluted clip were introduced (Fig.3, 4). In the new design, the imprint was on the cap top holder⁽²⁾ (Fig.4). The material of body was changed to celluloid except for the cap top⁽¹⁾. Fig.5 is the exploded view. Internal structure is basically same as the previous versions, but metal parts are different. Accordingly, click sound and feeling are different⁽³⁾ (Mov.1, 2). The cone had three slits (not four) (Fig.7).

On march 25, 1937, the lineup was expanded.

• black/gray (grip/sleeve)

• black/lizard

• red brown/turtles shell (model 201)⁽⁴⁾

​

In the same year, model 209 and model 205 were renamed model 210 mit Öse (Fig.9) and model 210, respectively.

​

In 1940, the mechanism was changed so that the shaft and the chuck body had flexible connection, resulting in the smoother action of the mechanism (Pelikan Schreibgeräte). By that time, cap top should have been replaced by celluloid⁽¹⁾. 

​

On the other hand, the war effort had begun to cast a shadow over the production of pencils.

• As from August 29, 1942, only model 200 black/green were produced (model 200 lizard and model 210 mit Öse were discontinued. Model 201 was suspended).

• In wartime (from 1941 or 1942?), the clip and  the cone were no longer gold-plated (Pelikan Schreibgeräte).

 

At the end of World War II, the production of the pencils should have been suspended. But no detailed information is available.

 

As from September 1948, mechanical pencils were available again. On October 10, 1948, announced was that as from the end of that month, metal parts would be gold-plated again.

​

The production of model 200 was resumed, but it did not last long. Instead, new models emerged.

 

• In March 1950, model 450 (mechanical pencil to match model 400) was introduced (Fig.11).

​

• In October 1950, model 350 (mechanical pencil to match model 100N and later model 140) was introduced (Fig.12).

​

• In February 1951, model 250 (mechanical pencil to match model 100N) was introduced (Fig.11).

​

In June 1949, model 210 was discontinued. In mid-1951, announced was that model 200 was "available until further notice". In October 1951, model 200 and 201 were finally discontinued.

​

Note;⁽¹⁾In late 1930's, Günter Wagner was switching from ebonite to celluloid (click). Contrary to fountain pens, the company stayed with ebonite for the cap top. Probably, that was because ebonite was more durable than celluloid and suitable for the cap top that is repeatedly pushed. 

⁽²⁾Other possible imprints were "Pelikan Günter Wagner Germany" and "Pelikan D.R.P Pelikan D.R.P" (Pelikan Schreibgeräte). 

⁽³⁾New AUCH-Pelikan makes a higher sound and more crisp feeling (to me).

⁽⁴⁾In Pelikan Schreibgeräte, this model is presented as model 201 to match model 101, but with parentheses. Probably, it was an export model (Pelikan catalog No.75 (1939)) (Fig.10).
