Souverän is the classic from Pelikan. The production of the tortoiseshell striped coat is elaborate, because according to a specially developed formulation for pelican, cotton material is made in many steps a striped piece of material that is bent, sanded and then cut to contour with a diamond. The gold-plated rings on the fill handle and cap are fitted with the highest precision, so that there is a virtually seamless transition between the materials before the pen is polished to a high gloss. The slightly springy typical Pelikan beak clip gives this high-quality writing instrument its distinctive design. The Souverän R400 tortoiseshell white rollerball pen has a black ink refill. If you love classics, you have a Souverän writing instrument. Quality made in Germany.
