Pen
Pelikan is a German manufacturer of fountain pens and other
writing, office and art equipment, credited with the invention
of the differential-piston filling method. Their "true" history
began with the model "100" and the modified 100N (both fountain
pens), which sparked the genesis of the company's distinctive
styling.
The modern-day flagship line is known as the "Souver?n",
consisting of the M300, M400, M600, M800 and the M1000. Pens
with vermeil embellishments, called Toledo, are manufactured in
the sizes of (new-style) M400 and M800, and they're
respectively referred to as M700 and M900. Pelikan is notable
for manufacturing many of their pens using Cellulose acetate,
instead of the more modern plastics used by most other major
pen makers.
There is also a more modest "Traditional" line of fine fountain
pens, really an extension of the Souver?n line, which is
mechanically very similar, but less elaborately decorated, and
shipped with gold-plated stainless steel nibs, rather than the
solid gold nibs of the Souver?n pens. This line includes the
M200, M150, and M100. The Souver?n and Traditional lines are
also notable for their easily replaced nibs, which are somewhat
interchangeable between most pen models. Many of the pen models
are also available as ballpoints, mechanical pencils, and so
forth; their model designations have the same number as the
corresponding fountain pen, but a different prefix
letter.
Pelikan is also a manufacturer of Limited Edition pieces, their
first being the acclaimed "Blue Ocean" Demonstrator in 1993
leading to the 2005 "Caelum". Pelikan also makes entry-level
fountain pens and fountain pens for school pupils, for example
"Pelikano" and "Future," as well as a high capacity "Level"
pens, filled from a special squeeze bottle through a valve in
the blind end of the barrel. In recent years Pelikan also
ventured into some "Special Edition" pens, where an unlimited
number of a given pen is manufactured but only within a limited
period - usually a year.
Pelikan's fountain pen ink is called Pelikan 4001. Pelikan also
makes Pelikan Fount India, a deep black Indian ink which,
unlike most Indian inks, can be used in fountain pens. It is
very water-resistant. Additionally, the company makes Pelikan
Drawing Ink A, which is not suitable for fountain pens.It
should be used with a dip pen.
