The Legend / The Gallery Collection

Three LEGEND series were launched: the series 24 each comprised a ballpoint pen and a rollerball in four different versions. The series 37 included two pens. Only the Series 36 contained, besides a twist ballpoint pen, a fountain pen. All writing instruments consisted of a slim metal barrel in five different designs. The fountain pens were cartridge fillers.

"For people with experience and style. When you write with it, it gives you the feeling of confidence, discipline and authority …"

So the description of the pen begins in a Dutch Prospectus. In fact, the writing instrument feels good in the hand due to the weight of the metal barrel and cap.
The polished stainless steel nib is partially gold plated. The engraving reads: PELIKAN IRIDIUM POINT

Fountain pens from this series within the collection are those which are most likely to be found today. But they are for me (Otto Lütkemeyer) also the pens with the most anomalies that I could see so far.
A Dutch leaflet describes the Goya as follows: 'Original pen with an artistic approach. They are wonderfully thin and light. If you take a Goya in the hand, they feel connected to the distant past. As if they write on the sunny marble Roman villas and Spanish palaces, surrounded by the sounds and the smells of the blue sea and green hills. Picturesque.
Available in marbled green, grey and brown'.
I was greatly surprised when I found two other variants that are unique to the series Goya: silver plated / guilloche and maroon honeycomb pattern.
Furthermore, in individual pens, deviations compared to the other models can be found:

• The pen with the red-brown honeycomb pattern bears on its cap top an imprint of the Pelikan logo - in all other pens in this series, this logo is missing.
• The green marbled pen has a gold-plated steel nib engraved with '© Pelikan' and Pelikan logo, while in all the other pens the gilded steel nib is engraved with 'IRIDIUM POINT W. GERMANY' (in some cases without the W.).
• The biggest difference is probably found on the grey marbled fountain pen. The decorative ring in the middle of the barrel usually is engraved 'Pelikan GERMANY'. This fountain pen bears instead a dedication engraving: 'JOSE ROMERO Paris W.G.' Such an engraving represents a significant intervention in the manufacturing process.

Who knows what surprises this series will bring us!

The Dutch brochure describes the fountain pen Renoir as follows: 'Professional and tasteful. You need not be a patron of the arts to write with the pen. It is in a class of its own. Exclusive. Inspirational. Modern and traditional at the same time. Only different. You feel good when you write with it. Reliable from beginning to end.'

In an advertisement, this fountain pen is described as practical at the same for the home, while studying and at the office. It is always ready for serious, extensive paperwork. A joyful artwork.

The pens have nibs with different engravings. One is '© Pelikan' and carries the Pelikan Logo, the second nib is engraved 'IRIDIUM POINT W-GERMANY'.
