Can anyone from the xteink team help please?

I recently picked up this Pelikan (my first one) from a used pen dealer for what felt like a good price

But when I went about trying to identify it, there seemed to be a lot of inconsistencies

So far, it looks like it's an M400 of some sort, as it has a capped length of 125mm. However, the thing that's giving me the most trouble is the nib - I can't seem to find any record of an M400 made with this specific design/scrollwork on the nib

Any help narrowing down the model would be much appreciated 🙏

Even if it comes down to the fact that I might have been scammed, I'd like to know

I had been looking for the Parker UK Duofold Maxima for a while now, so jumped at the chance to add to my collection

I'm not really into Montblanc pens cuz I prefer slimmer pens, but this 144 Classique with an 18k medium stub nib fit the bill perfectly, so decided to pick it up as well

Both of them being burgundy in colour is just a coincidence

Waterman Care'ne <M> x Krishna Njaval (it's like a very dark eggplant purple)

Jinhao 35 <F> x Krishna Chocolate Brown

Keyboard: Cheerz by ptdc (Lazydesigners collab)

Pen: Vintage Parker Duofold Senior

IEMs: Tangzu Waner SG 2 (Headphonezone exclusive)

She asked what I wanted, so I ended up picking this Opus 88 Demo

I've always liked how they look, but are quite rare to come by in vintage pens

Been a while since I wrote with this pen, so thought I'd ink it up and get some writing practice in

Notebook: Clairefontaine A5 Ruled

SOLD

Letting go of this Woodex #60 pen with a new Mohi Flex nib unit (dip-tested only), to make room for newer pens

The pen cap, barrel, section are all made of a lovely maroon/brown ebonite with a unique grey splatter pattern. The pen originally came with a KW <B> nib, which I replaced with this Mohi Flex nib.

Condition: The pen was used as a desk pen for about a month, intermittently. Looks exactly like it did when I received it from Mr. Narasimha of Woodex. The Mohi Flex nib unit is new, received 2 weeks ago, and only dip-tested once (which was enough to figure out that flex nibs do not suit my style of writing)
