Souverän - A world-famous classic. Even today, this classic with a black-and-green pinstripe sleeve is still considered a symbol of the Pelikan brand worldwide. The production of the Souverän sleeve is subject to an elaborate process. The classic striped material is made out of cotton based on a formula developed specifically for Pelikan.
 
It takes months until the block providing the stripes is finished, whereupon the tailor-made plating is curved and cut into a contour using a natural diamond. The characteristic double rings are then integrated into the cap and barrel with the utmost precision. The writing instrument is then polished until it reaches a brilliant luster.

The Pelikan Souverän M1000 is Pelikan's flagship fountain pen. The elaborately striped green body is made of celluloid acetate, with a black cap and 24k gold plated accents. The large nib is made of 18k gold, refined with a rhodium decor, and writing quality tested by hand.

The fountain pen is equipped with a differential piston-filling mechanism with high-value brass components. The smooth operating piston mechanism allows you to fill this pen with bottled ink.
