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 Red Striated finish 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.
