Thanks for posting this video. I have been a pen collector for some time, but just recently started collecting fountain pens. I just purchased a 140 and 400 and you video taught me a great deal. I'm glad I watched it before I started screwing around and would have probably broke something.
I have a 140 and have been looking at acquiring the NN400 as well, so this was an interesting and helpful video. I appreciated information on determining the approximate age of my 140.
Like you, Peter, I have several 140's from differing decades - always consistently fantastic in their laying down of ink, & of course, the much revered gold nibs, where flexion was paramount for those expressive moments - I cannot really think of a modern contemporary that delivers such quality, & compromises nothing; uber simplistic design & maintenance is easy to keep these writing instruments in great working order. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, giving such advocacy to what is, a design classic - Thank you very much !! :D
The one you say is from the 60's looks a little bit like an 80's I think...though I am no expert...it's hard to see when you use the magnifying glass: is the nib size (F,M,B etc.) written in italic on the nib? and are the lines from the side of nib joined in the middle or do they stop before the slit? Like I said, I'm no expert, but I don't think that feed design was made in the 60's...
I don't know what the price of the 140 was, but the 400 was not cheap at all; when it was released in 1951 it had a price of 25 Deutsche Mark, which nowadays would be about 350 euros.
