Pelikan Souveran M805 Stresemann Fountain Pen
Pelikan Souveran M805 Stresemann Fountain Pen. The high-quality palladium-plated decorative elements give the Souverän 805 series its characteristic, unmistakable shine. The black parts are made of high-quality black precious resin. The palladium-plated rings on the filling knob and cap are fitted with the utmost precision, creating an almost seamless transition between the materials before polishing the writing instrument to a high gloss. The series offers in a fountain pen, a rollerball, ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil with twist mechanism. The fountain pen is equipped with an 18-carat/750 completely rhodium-plated gold nib, so that the silver appearance harmonizes with the clip and rings. Thanks to the green ink viewing window that is set into the barrel, you can always see when you will need to refill your fountain pen. Every Souverän fine writing instrument was crafted with the highest precision, mounted by hand and finally carefully checked. Furthermore, the writing qualities of every gold nib 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.
