Pelikan Souveran M1000 Green Striated Fountain Pen With Extra nib unit

This pen has been lovingly used.  It comes complete with box and papers. It has a an Extra Fine nib with a spare Fine nib. 

In the year 1929 Pelikan was the first company in the world to introduce the differentiated piston mechanism. This technique causes the spindle inside the fountain pen to turn quicker than the end piece of the barrel, with the help of two different threads. To this date, this fountain pen exists in many different variations, and though it has been developed in design and technical details over time, the basic mechanism remains the same.

In 1950, the model 400 was launched. With its green-striped sleeve, it has become a world-wide symbol for the brand of Pelikan. In the eighties, the series was baptized Souverän, though popular lore has taken to calling it by its nickname Stresemann, because the state secretary of the “Weimarer Republik” was famous for his striped suits…

The production of the sleeve is work-intensive. Adhering to a special Pelikan recipe, the raw material cotton is processed through many different steps until it is shaped into a striped sheet. It is then formed into the right shape, cut and sanded with a diamond. Next, the characteristic double clips at the back of the barrel and on the cap are integrated into the material. This is done with the highest precision in order to obtain a virtually seamless transition between the materials. The writing instrument is then polished to a high sheen before the slightly springy clip with its famous, stylized Pelikan is mounted.

If you love classics, you should own a Souverän writing instrument.

This is one of the largest fountain pens of Pelikan and it has a length of 14.7cm (with closed cap). The barrel and cap are both made of high-quality resin in shiny black while the clip and the rings are palladium plated to get the silver sheen. The 18kt gold nib has been completely covered with rhodium to make this classical fountain pen sleek and modern.

The nib on the Pelikan Fountain Pen Special Edition Souverän M1000 is a large #8 size nib, and compliments the pen wonderfully. This pen fills via piston filling system.
