Re: ink spot on green striped pelikan

Hello,

what ink do you use. Normally inks are not water resistant, for example Waterman Florida blue, Pelikan royal blue and others.
Ink spots should erasable with water or detergent for dish washing.

Best regards

Re: History of Tropen Scholar?

Hello,

my guess depends on this production area only because of the shape of the clip. Former models had a decorated cap ring and a clip with three steps. I don't have only a very limitedly information about Tropen pens.

Re: Is this black Pelikano supposed to exist?

Hello,

in my opinion this fountain pen could be a model P15 diamond black. It would produced between 1961 until 1965 and is a cartridge pen with an argentan screw-on-cap. It should also have a covered nib.

I hope this will help you.

Best regards
Werner
