The Souverän is the classic from Pelikan. Its completely black resin barrel, the contrasting green-transparent ink viewing window, and the gold-plated fittings give the fountain pen a distinctive character of a true classic. The gold-plated rings on the grip and cap are fitted with the utmost precision, creating an almost seamless transition between the materials 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 M nib produces a medium writing style and is suitable for handwriting with larger strokes.
