Pelikan - The advanced conductive ink feeder

A new development of fountain pens was made possible by the patent from Theodor Kovács, that Pelikan took over as the 'Pelikan thermic-regulator'. This Thermic ink feeder is built into the grip section and allows an easy and fast way to change the nib.

After the Pelikano, developed as the first cartridge pen for school use became a market leader, Pelikan produced an adult fountain pen using the cartridge system in 1961.

The pens have been revised over the years. They are distinguished in particular by their nib form.

  1. Pelikan P15 / P25 - September 1958: the piston filler P15 and P25 were introduced to the market, they have a narrow, hidden nib
  2. Pelikan Pxx models with half covered nib - from February 1965: new fountain pen models with plug caps and half covert nibs are offered
  3. Pelikan Pxx / PKxx und Pxxx models - redesigned - from 1969: the models are revised, the nibs are more visible, with with angled edges
    (See also plug-in nibs for piston and cartridge pens since 1958)

 

Pelikan P15 / P25

The outer shape of this fountain pen corresponded to the Pelikano. The screw caps are made of higher quality materials e.g. rolled gold cap and silvexa cap. The fountain pens also had a gold nibs. The sapphire model was not accepted in the market and so Pelikan decided a few months later to produce the two models in black, too.

As with the piston filler the cartridge fountain pen are now equipped with plug caps. They also have a revolving window, which displays the ink level of the cartridge. The decorative ring between the grip section and the ink window is wide. For better differentiation between piston fillers and cartrdige pens, the ends of the barrel have a short metal cap.

Pelikan P/PK pens in redesigned style

With the advancement of the nib style many cartridge fountain pens are already adapted to this new nib in the same year. This adaptation was also accompanied with other small changes. Common to all is the now narrow ring between grip section and ink window. In 1973 all models then have the new three-digit designation number.

Pelikan M4xx - Japan models

The piston fillers M464, M465, M475, M480, M484, M485, M486, M488, M491, M490 and M495 were sold in the mid 1960s in Japan. All these models can be operated with cartridges or converter. However, the shapes are very similar to the piston fillers which were sold in this period in Europe.
Surprisingly, the model numbers all begin with M (= mechanics), which is usually used for piston filler, while P was used for cartridge fillers. We presume the reason for this type of numbering was that these were fitted with a converter by Pelikan.
