Pelikan Souveran M800 Black Fountain Pen
Pelikan Souveran M800 Black Fountain Pen. Truly a reliable companion at work or for your personal correspondence. Souverän stands for permanent quality. The deep, shiny black surface harmonizes perfectly with the golden elements. Very classy and always timeless. The deep black casing is subject to an elaborate process. The material of the casing consists of high-grade resin, and it takes months until it is finished, whereupon the tailor-made plating is curved and cut into a contour using a natural diamond. The characteristic double rings are integrated into the cap and barrel with the utmost precision. The writing instrument is then polished until it reaches a brilliant luster. 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.
