Pelikan Level fountain pens created the first new filling system in fountain pens in decades. We don't even know the name of the filling system. The concept was that the tail of the pen locked into a specially made inkwell, then you filled the pen. Unfortunately, we don't have the special inkwell that this pen needs. However, we do have the matching .5mm pencil. The pencil works well. The pen's steel nib writes a fine line with some feedback. Neither writing instrument has very much wear, just a little. However, there are some deep scratches on the section grip of the pen. Click the headline for close-ups.
