This splendid ballpoint pen by Pelikan is from their renowned Souver n collection. This collection has a distinguished history stretching back to 1950. Made from diamond-processed, high-quality resin, the pen features the glorious, highly-polished Black-Red finish that was introduced to the range in 2001. The rich red is set off wonderfully by the gleaming 24-karat gold-plated trims. This is the K600 model which features a twist-action mechanism and is the middle size of the Black-Red ballpoints in this collection. Without the writing tip extended, the pen measures 12.6 cm.
