A true classic
In the year 1929 Pelikan was the first company in the world to introduce the differentiated piston mechanism. This technique causes the spindle inside the fountain pen to turn quicker than the end piece of the barrel, with the help of two different threads. To this date, this fountain pen exists in many different variations, and though it has been developed in design and technical details over time, the basic mechanism remains the same.
In 1950, the model 400 was launched. With its green-striped sleeve, it has become a world-wide symbol for the brand of Pelikan. In the eighties, the series was baptized Souverän, though popular lore has taken to calling it by its nickname Stresemann, because the state secretary of the “Weimarer Republik” was famous for his striped suits…
The production of the sleeve is work-intensive. Adhering to a special Pelikan recipe, the raw material cotton is processed through many different steps until it is shaped into a striped sheet. It is then formed into the right shape, cut and sanded with a diamond. Next, the characteristic double clips at the back of the barrel and on the cap are integrated into the material. This is done with the highest precision in order to obtain a virtually seamless transition between the materials. The writing instrument is then polished to a high sheen before the slightly springy clip with its famous, stylized Pelikan is mounted.

Pelikan M800 Souverän Fountain pen Blue-Black
425,00€ – 450,00€A true classic
In 1929 Pelikan was the first company in the world to introduce the differential piston mechanism. This technique makes the shaft inside the fountain pen rotate faster than the tip or filling sleeve, thanks to two differential threads. To this day, this fountain pen is available in many different versions, and although its design and technical details have improved over time, the basic mechanism remains the same.
In 1950 the model 400 was launched. With its green striped body, it has become the global symbol of the Pelikan brand. During the 80s, the series was baptized with the name Souverän, although popularly it has also been called “Stresemann” because it was reminiscent of the secretary of state of the “Weimar Republic”, famous for his striped suits … Souverän with black and blue striped vitola were added to the product range in 1995.
Making the vitola is a painstaking task, as the cotton material – its formula was developed especially for Pelikan – must undergo many manufacturing processes to create this piece of striped material. It is bent and smooth, and its contours are diamond cut. The characteristic double rings on the back of the body and lid are then integrated into the material. This is done with the utmost precision to obtain a virtually seamless transition between materials. The instrument is then polished to a high shine before mounting the clip with a light spring and the famous stylized pelican shape.
