Important personality - Gustav Stresemann In addition to his outstanding political career, including as Foreign Minister of the Weimar Republic, Gustav Stresemann (1878-1929) also became known for designing a suit. This was ideal for public appearances on the one hand and could be worn casually in the office on the other. At the same time, Pelikan's striped fountain pens began their global triumphal march: Suddenly, the vernacular also referred to them as "Stresemann". This also turned the writing instruments into personalities. Even today, both the suit and the fountain pen bear the name of Stresemann. To honour the legend, Pelikan has officially named the Souverän with stylish stripes in anthracite Stresemann. Souverän 805 Stresemann The production of the Souverän coat is subject to an elaborate process. According to a recipe developed especially for Pelikan, a striped piece of material is made from cotton material in many steps, which is bent and then cut to contour with a diamond. 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 M805 piston fountain pen has an 18-carat completely rhodium-plated gold nib and is available in the nib widths EF, F, M and B. The B nib ensures a wide stroke. The B nib provides a broad typeface and is particularly suitable for handwriting with large curves.
