Souverän by Pelikan is a world-famous classic. The production of the tortoise shell is an elaborate process, specially developed by Pelikan. A striped piece of material is made starting from cotton over many steps. The cotton is bent and then polished to contour with a diamond. The special feature of the tortoiseshell material is its slight material transparency and the different color nuances that give the material its shimmering effect. The palladium-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 M605 piston fountain pen features a 14-carat rhodium-plated gold nib and is available in Fine or Medium nib widths. The F nib ensures a fine typeface and is particularly suitable for handwriting with smaller curves. Medium is going to provide a wetter more luxurious writing experience, but is suited best for slightly larger writing.
