Pelikan Souveran M600 Black-Blue Fountain Pen

Pelikan Souveran M600 Black-Blue Fountain Pen

Pelikan Souveran M600 Black-Blue Fountain Pen. Worldwide, appreciated and loved since decades. The design is unique and every fine, connected pinstripe on the material shines in individual appearance. The production of the Souverän sleeve is subject to an elaborate process.

The typical, striped material is made from cellulose-acetate based on a formula developed specially for Pelikan. It takes months until the block providing the stripes is finished, whereupon the tailor-made plating is curved and cut into a contour using a natural diamond.

The series is offered as fountain pen with differential piston mechanism, ballpoint pen with twist mechanism and rollerball. The fountain pen consists of an 18-carat/750 gold nib with rhodium decor. Every Souverän fine writing instrument was carefully checked, and the writing qualities were tested by hand before it comes to you.| Pelikan | Pelikan Souveran

About Pelikan

The beginnings of the Pelikan Company trace back to the chemist Carl Hornemann, who made his customers an offer for oil paints, watercolors and for so called “farbige Dinten”—colored inks, on April 28, 1838. This price list—safely restored in the Pelikan archives—was the foundation of the company’s manufacturing line, from which the worldwide known trademark Pelikan has developed.

Piston filling mechanism and ink feed are the key to the fame of the Pelikan fountain pens. Self filling fountain pens, using pressure and lever mechanisms, and so-called safety fountain pens, that were filled by using an eyedropper, ruled the market after World War I.

In the 1980s, writing with a fountain pen experienced a revival. Not necessarily in everyday use, however, it was used again for personal letters, for signatures, and as a status symbol. In 1979, with the “Signum”, a fountain pen specially made for adults was introduced for the first time again. Yet, only in 1982, when the “Souverän M 400” was launched, which was a renewal of the fountain pen 400, Pelikan managed to live up to its previous successes. Outwardly the fountain pens were identical, only the ink feed and the mechanism differed slightly.
