Souverän is the classic from Pelikan. The production of the Souverän barrel is subject to an elaborate process, as a striped piece of material is made from cotton material in many steps according to a recipe developed especially for Pelikan, which is bent and then polished to contour with a diamond. The gold-plated rings on the filler grip and cap are fitted with the utmost precision before the writing instrument is polished to a high gloss. The slightly springy, typical Pelikan beak clip gives this high-quality writing instrument its unmistakable design. The Souverän M400 piston fountain pen has a 14-carat bicolour gold nib and is available in EF, F, M and B nib widths. The B nib provides a broad typeface and is particularly suitable for handwriting with large curves.
