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.

Simply Classic

If you’re looking for the classic writing instrument par excellence, stop right here. The fountain pen Classic black has a timeless design with its barrel and cap in polished black. It is made of high-quality resin. The 24 carat gold-plated decorative rings and the characteristic Pelikan beak clip underline its traditional design, with a transparent-green ink viewing window as a classy and colorful accent.

The Classic black is equipped with a traditional and reliable piston-filling mechanism. Different nib-sizes are available when it comes to the polished high-quality stainless steel nib. The model in the size 150 is the smallest available pen in the Classic series (only the 300 Souverän is smaller), therefore it is ideal for a small hand. This fountain pen is also available with silver fittings (M205) and with a cartridge filling mechanism: P200 for the gold version and P205 for the silver model. The M is short for mechanism (as in piston mechanism) and the P is short for Patrone (the German word for cartridge).

A classic shape with a practical filling mechanism.

Time and again, we were asked why Pelikan doesn’t offer its Classic piston fountain pens M200 and M205 with a cartridge mechanism – for those who travel a lot and for those who prefer the quick exchange of a cartridge to the more elaborate filling with a piston mechanism. At first, we hesitated. After all, Pelikan is the epitome for classical fountain pens with the famous piston mechanism. But when the demand came more and more often, we decided to act on it. Now, we readily admit that the simple beauty of the P200 took our breath away.

We are happy to offer two very popular versions made of high quality resin in black – either with gold or with silver applications. For more information on the silver model, check out the information about the P205. The gold model P200 has a stainless steel nib that is 24 carat gold plated and available in four sizes: EF, F, M, and B. To exchange the cartridge, the fountain pen can be screwed open right at the ring. This is also the part that has to be exchanged in case of a nib change.

As a perfect combination, combine this sleek fountain pen with the new Edelstein Ink Cartridges in their attractive metal boxes – they are first-class eye-catchers! Happy writing . . .

Souverän®

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.
