This very handsome Pelikan pen is finished in a pearlescent green stripe with a glossy black cap.  It has a double cap band and two gold bands on the barrel.  This is quite a big, chunky pen, with a reputation for toughness and durability.  The combination of a green striped barrel with a black cap is probably the most famous and well recognised Pelikan finish.

The Souverän 800, more often known as the "M 800" is a traditional piston-filler, it is not a cartridge pen and must be filled from a bottle. The advantage of this is a large ink capacity compared to most modern pens. The filling mechanism is operated by twisting the black knob on the end of the barrel.  Note that unlike the cheaper models, the M800 has a metal internal mechanism for greater reliability.

The nib is extremely attractive in itself and is made from solid 18ct gold, over-plated with rhodium, giving the two-colour effect. It bears the Pelikan logo and the imprint "18c - 750". It has a medium point.  Note that other nib styles and widths, including italic and oblique are available for this pen and we can normally supply them within a few days - just enquire.

The superb writing performance of these pens is almost legendary and they have a reputation for dependability. This pen carries the usual manufacturer's warranty.
