The Highlo Pen Museum

  

The one question I am asked more often than any other is, "What is the best fountain pen in the world?" My answer is always - Pelikan.
Since Pelikan made their first fountain pen in 1929, the overall concept of their quality pen range has changed very little. The traditional design and the filling mechanism with its enormous ink capacity has stood the test of time and, instead of being subjected to the whims of fashion, has been content with just a steady refining and improvement. Secondly, the nib is just outstanding. Whereas other comparable manufacturers have rolled their gold thinner to extract more nibs per sheet, Pelikan have continued to manufacture a nib of the highest quality and durability in a wide range of nib points.
The reliability and traditional beauty of these high class fountain pens makes them not only trusty day-to-day workhorses, but also collectors' items of increasing value. 

The main difference between the models in the Souveran series is the size, which you can compare in the following table (not to scale).

Filling The Pelikan Fountain Pen

Low ink capacity and leaking from the front end can often be traced to a faulty filling procedure. It is important that all pens, including the Pelikan, be filled according to the manufacturers instructions. What sometimes seems a minor point in the filling process can often be the key factor in the pen behaving as it should. Here is the correct way to fill a Pelikan:
Advance the internal piston by unscrewing the filling knob on the end of the barrel fully to the left. Dip the nib into the ink until it is fully covered. Turn the knob fully back slowly and evenly. When it reaches its stop point remove the nib from the ink and turn the knob back a short way to allow a few drops to fall back into the bottle. Turn the pen so the nib is facing upwards and screw the knob back to its stop point. Wipe clean with a tissue.
Always remember when using any coloured ink, particularly black, that these contain more sediment than blue. The pen should therefore be flushed out with cold water after every two or three fillings to prevent clogging of the feed channels.
