Is this black Pelikano supposed to exist?

Hope someone might be able to help.

Re: Help pls to ID mystery pen

Thanks for your comment! I've since managed to identify it as an Aurea -- http://strangeknight.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/mystery-pen-black-and-burgundy-celluloid-button-filler/ But the pen could have been made by Omas. Apparently Aurea was a small pen company and had their pens made by Montegrappa etc.

Re: New Pelikan products for 2010

Am really looking forward to seeing the M800 Blue 'o Blue in person. The finish looks really interesting!

The Duo is cute. Just a question about the ink -- did Pelikan make it in-house or is it sourced from another manufacturer?

Re: Cologne Pen Show 2010

Wow! Looks like a great show!

How do I find out more about the pen shows in Germany and in Europe? Is there a calendar? Are the shows always fixed during certain months?
