The Souverän is the classic model from Pelikan. The black and green striped barrel is recognized worldwide as a symbol of the Pelikan brand. The production of the Souverän barrel involves a meticulous process, as a specially developed formula for Pelikan transforms cotton material into a striped piece through multiple steps, which is then bent and contour-ground with a diamond. The gold-plated rings on the upper and lower parts are fitted with the utmost precision before the writing instrument is polished to a high gloss. The slightly springy, characteristic Pelikan beak clip gives this high-quality writing instrument its distinctive design. The Souverän K400 ballpoint pen is equipped with a large-capacity refill in black ink.
