Pelikan Souvern M400 Fountain Pen Black-Green EF

Exclusive design, selected materials, precise elaboration and highest writing comfort: The Souvern fountain pen stands for permanent quality.

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 Souvern, 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… . With the models in “Black-Green” and “Black-Blue” already enjoying great popularity, the color variation “Black-Red” was added in 2001. The striped pattern of its sleeve presents itself in strong contrasted colors.

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 own a Souvern writing instrument.
