school pens...

 

[carola]

The topmost pen looks a lot like my very first pen I got when I started school. I´m not sure if it´s the exact same model but in any case it´s a sibling.

[christof]

It's a Pelikano from 1969.

That´s exactly what I meant by saying "sibling". 😄 Mine is the model from 1979 in red.

The circa 2003 version are particularly good writers in my experience.

I can confirm that. I also like the design, but the plastic clip is a weak point.

I agree.

I had never seen these pens until I went to a pen show and there was a KWZI ink test table, I was surprised how good they were to use with a very pleasant nib. Trying to buy the Pelikano Dragon at the moment, I don't  know if it is Brexit or Covid but buying things from overseas just became so much more difficult.

...there was also a mermaid version. Great!

If you did a list  inappropriate users of the Pelikano then Dragons and Mermaids must be top of the list.

[carola]

I tend to like the Dragon and was curious what the Mermaid might look like.

 

Sadly, I was disappointed. I don´t quite know what I had expected, but definitely not something extremly "girlish" like this:

I like them both.

 

But now something different, my new OMAS SIGNUM desk pen:

Wow... that´s a nice one!

In 2012, I created this photographic collage and published it on Flickr and Fountain Pen Network :

This collage has become one of my most popular photos on Flickr and on many other websites, quoted and copied several times*.
Almost 9 years later, I think it was time to create a new version of it and in particular to give a little more space to the different Pelikan 100.

So here is the new version ot the history of the evolution of Pelikan fountain pens:

Esta colagem se tornou uma das minhas fotos mais populares no Flickr e em muitos outros sites, citada e copiada várias vezes *.
Quase 9 anos depois, acho que era hora de criar uma nova versão dele e, em particular, de dar um pouco mais de espaço aos diferentes Pelikan 100.

Então, aqui está a nova versão da história da evolução das canetas-tinteiro Pelikan:
