Is there an ink view window on a Pelikan fountain pen so I can see when it needs to be refilled?
The Souveran fountain pens have an ink view window close to the nib which is dark green on the black pens. On the striated pens, the black lines in between the coloured striations are transparent at the bottom next to the threaded point where the caps screw on so remaining ink can be gauged here. On the Traditional range of fountain pens, there is a clear ink view window in the same place as on the Souveran pens, but it is a colourless clear window, regardless of the pen’s colour. The Epoch, Ductus, Pelikano, Pelikano Junior and Scripting fountain pens take cartridges so the two parts of the pen will need to be unscrewed to view the cartridge inside to gauge how much ink is left.
