15 different nibs, only one pen.
Further individualization of nibs, absolute standardization of the pen.
Each of its parts being crafted on special automata - 81 automated tools for 8 individual parts - with such accuracy and precision that each part of any pen can be substituted for the same part of another pen.
No more repairs!
Replacement of a single part at most.
Please, visit the Pelikan factory and convince yourself in the modern and technically perfect tool-up.
Feasible through specialized shops.

————
The Pelikan Fountain Pen.
a self-filling, secure pen, transparent, with a large ink space, never blotting, always write-ready, a technically perfect, german, enterprise strength writing instrument.
————-
Self-filling without a rubber sac.
A hard rubber piston moving by means of a patented differential transmission, filling the Pelikan - in fact quickly and cleanly - since it’s enough to dip the nib tip.
————-
Large, transparent ink space
therefore timely inking
Large, transparent ink space
therefore less frequent inking
————
One twist and write-ready.
The capped pen is air-and-ink tight. Yet writing is only one cap twist away.
————
A first-class nib - a secure nib.
The gold nib is also of Pelikan quality - the most loaded, best gold and the hardest osmi-iridium. For protection of such a valuable nib a particular cap has been devised. Never does the nib scratch the sealing surfaces, and never can the cap damage the Pelikan gold nib.

At the left there are information about the precision of the pen and a list of the patents (Deutsches Reichspatent, Deutsches Reichspatent angemeldet), for the piston mechanism, for the feed, the cap and the clip. They added some promotion for Pelikan ink at the right side.
I know there is another version of the second page with a logo in the middle instead of the advise "Beim Öffnen und Schließen gerieftes Ende nicht anfassen. ..."
The second side explains how to fill the pen, to keep it clean and clean the cap, when there is ink in it.
The most interesting part: You only have to dip the nib to the heart hole to fill the pen with ink! This helps to keep the section clean.
Some more advises for inking the pen, to keep it clean and promotion for the ink bottle no. 71.

According to the instruction, "Patented locking ring in the cap prevents the shaft from falling out, even if the cap is forgotten to be screwed tight."
