Product Description
A Key Personality - Gustav Stresemann
On top of his outstanding political career, among other things as Germany´s foreign minister during the 1920s, Stresemann was also known for a particular suit design. This suit that was ideal for official appearances, yet that could also be worn casually in the office. At the same time, Pelikan and its pinstriped fountain pens were beginning to take the world by storm and people came to refer to the latter as "Stresemann" too, consequently gaining a personality of their own. Today, both the suit as well as these fountain pens bear Stresemann´s name. To pay tribute to this legend, Pelikan has officially christened the Souverän with stylish anthracite pinstripes the "Stresemann".
The production of the Souverän sleeve is subject to an elaborate process. The typical, striped material is made out of cotton based on a formula developed specially for Pelikan. It takes month 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 fountain pen M805 with piston filling mechanism consists of a 18-carat completely rhodium-plated gold nib and is available with the nib sizes EF, F, M or B, BB or IB (bicolor version from the M800).

M400 – The Compact Classic
The M400 is the heart of the Souverän series, maintaining the original dimensions from 1950. It is the perfect choice for writers who prefer a lighter, more agile pen or have smaller hands. Despite its compact size, it features the full technical brilliance of Pelikan: a high-quality 14k bicolor gold nib and the famous differential piston mechanism. Ideal for long writing sessions where comfort and effortless control are paramount.
M600 – The Perfect All-Rounder
Slightly larger and more substantial than the M400, the M600 strikes the perfect balance for the average hand. It offers more presence on the paper without being overly heavy. The 14k gold nib is refined with rhodium decor and provides a smooth, reliable flow. This model is often considered the "sweet spot" of the collection—large enough to feel premium, yet light enough for daily use in any professional setting.
M800 – The Modern Legend
The M800 is a true heavyweight in the world of fine writing. It was the first Souverän model to feature brass internal components, giving it a commanding, balanced feel. Equipped with a large, sophisticated 18k bicolor gold nib, it offers a firmer and more authoritative writing experience. This is the ultimate tool for those who appreciate a bold, oversized pen that makes a statement of excellence and stability.
M1000 – The Majestic Masterpiece
The M1000 is Pelikan’s largest and most powerful fountain pen. It is famous among enthusiasts for its extraordinary No. 10 oversized 18k gold nib, which is exceptionally soft and expressive. The sheer size and the unique "bounce" of the nib provide a writing experience that is closer to a brush than a standard pen. A majestic instrument designed for those who seek the pinnacle of luxury and the most expressive stroke possible.
