Pelikan Souveran M800 Fountain Pen - Red with Gold Trim

Pelikan's story originates in 1838 when chemist Carl Hornemann founded a small company to produce ink and water colours. Based out of Hanover, Germany, the Pelikan logo itself is borne from his family's coat of arms and is now synonymous with one of the oldest brands in Germany.

Pelikan are famed for their 1929 invention of the differentiated piston filling mechanism. In the following decades, the company established its international reputation for manufacturing high-quality, plush fountain pens.

The Pelikan M800 fountain pen in red features a high-quality red and transparent resin barrel made from Egyptian cotton, accompanied by 24c gold plated trim and 18c gold nib with rhodium decoration (available in a number of widths.) The striated design of the barrel allows you to see how much ink is left by holding it up to light.

This large piston filling pen is the most popular pen from the Pelikan Souveran range. It comes presented in its own gift box and is accompanied by the three-year Pelikan warrantee.
