Creating a design that is at once both classic and timeless is a feat not many pen brands can say they have done. Pelikan is one of them. The Souverän, or Sovereign, range of pens feature a generous piston-filling mechanism and beautifully writing gold nibs. Having made piston-filling fountain pens since 1929, Pelikan has no rival on that front. A Pelikan M400 fountain pen, like a fine mechanical watch, is in no need of replaceable batteries or cartridges in order to function. All a Pelikan M400 fountain pen needs is you. This M400 in the Black and Green Striated finish is truly the classic finish in Pelikan's line, with its origins going back to the early days of the company's history. Th is is a slender pen and the perfect size for a shirt pocket. The M400 size is the oldest of the Souver ä n series, first introduced in 1982. It features a piston filling system, gold trim and a 14k gold nib. Your Pelikan M400 will come presented in a Pelikan gift box.
