Pelikan School and youngsters' fountain pens

A conspicuous feature of these two fountain pens are 5 ink windows in the barrel that indicate the level of the inserted ink cartridges.
You might think at first sight that these are two identical models in different colors. But taking a closer look we have already seen some differences. If both fountain pens are put side by side, you can see that the decorative ring between the end of the barrel and the grip section does not lie at the same height. In fact, the barrel end of the red fountain pen is shorter, which is offset by a longer ink window in the barrel, so that both fountain pens have the same overall length. Also, the cap top of the pen is slightly different.
These two models appear to be pure export models. They were found in Italy and the Netherlands.

In 1992 Pelikan produced a new fountain pen model appealing to the youth market. In addition to the cartridge pen which was offered in three colors there were also two piston fillers offered in the same design and colors (the white was offered only as a cartridge pen). After a long absence, this was Pelikan´s first piston filler to address the low-price segment again.

Analogous to the Super Pirate Pen P25 also the cartridge pen GO! P70 can be equipped with an erase cartridge instead of the reserve ink cartridge. A small cap at the end of the barrel released the eraser tip.

In 1973 Pelikan brought out a new series, specifically addressing the teenage market. The sophisticated technology corresponded to that of the Pelikanos. There was also a felt tip pen and ballpoint pen.

More than 30 years after the first version a new model was be launched, bearing the same name 'Happy Pen' and addressing the same target group. The shape and design were fundamentally changed. The plain colored barrels were printed with various designs.

1987 Nobil P36 is produced in the Netherlands. It resembles the foutain pen for youngsters TWIST, but is made plain in Royal Blue or Burgundy with gold-plated clip and trim ring and is made of better material.
1988 is the P38 Nobil slightly changed and was sold on the overall market: he is now two-tone and the gold-plated trim ring is omitted.
The model P38 Nobil silver for export was conducted for Austria under the model designation 'Air Pen Royal P458' as successor to the 'Air Pen Silver P458'.

This fountain pen was combined with an eraser. Instead of the reserve ink cartridge, an erase cartridge was installed. A small cap at the end of the barrel released the eraser tip.

While the standard model in blue with white / pink print was very reminiscent of the youth fillers Twist P20, there was also a variant whose parts consisted only of different color pressings (analogous to the Twist P10). This model is probably an export variant, which was only offered for a short time on the market.

The Galaxia was a school and youth fountain pen from Pelikan Milan, which was made of transparent colored plastic.

Successor of Galaxia was the Galaxia Iron. The barrel and cap are available in four different colors with metallic effect, barrel end and grip section are aluminum-colored. Two round cut-outs in the grip section reflect the views freely on the amount of ink remaining.
