It is a Pelikano school pen. Pelikan made those between 1969 and 1973. They use cartridges.

  Wow, that’s amazing! 🤩  The swirling is beautiful, and the trim! 😻 I love the old Sailor nib, too.

Yes! It is a good looking pen. I waffled between the green and the blue and ultimately chose the blue, but sometimes I see clips of the green ones and wonder if I made the right choice.

  The green and the grey ones are also stunning, for sure.

  I take a perverse pleasure in fitting gold nibs onto clones I like. I finally got on the Jinhao 80 bandwagon after seeing that there’s a blue one with gold furnishings (and the lovely brown one, but this is a blue thread).

  Lovely Century II, the gold trim really makes the color pop. The marbling is really pretty.  The blue converter is a nice touch.

Thanks! It's amazing what one can do with an iPhone and a bit of Apple Photos editing.
