The Souverän is the classic from Pelikan. The production of the Souverän barrel involves a complex process, as a striped piece of material is created from cotton using a specially developed formula for Pelikan, going through many steps. This material is then bent and subsequently shaped to contour with a diamond. The palladium-coated rings on the grip and cap are fitted with the utmost precision before the writing instrument is polished to a high shine. The slightly springy, typical Pelikan beak clip gives this high-quality writing instrument its distinctive design. The Souverän M405 piston fountain pen features a 14-carat fully rhodium-plated gold nib and is available in nib widths EF, F, M, and B. The M nib provides a medium-wide writing experience and is particularly suitable for handwriting with slightly larger strokes.
