Souverän is a classic design by Pelikan. The barrel is made of entirely black high-grade resin. This, along with the view window of the ink container that is set off in a shade of transparent green and its gold plating give this fountain pen an individual character and an aura of an original classic pen. The gold-plated rings on the filling handle and cap are fitted with the highest precision, so that there is an almost seamless transition between the materials before the pen is polished to a high gloss. The slightly springy, typical Pelikan beak clip gives this quality pen a distinctive design. The largest piston fill fountain pen by Pelikan, the Souverän M1000 Black has an 18 carat / 750 partially rhodium-plated gold nib with a fine nib width. If you love classics, then you own a Souverän writing instrument. High-quality; made in Germany.
