Description
Souverän M1000 Green Black Fountain pen by Pelikan – a legendary model for sovereign writing
Pelikan first introduced the M400 in 1950. In the 1980s, it named it Souverän, even though the Germans already called it the “Stresemann”, after the secretary of state of the Weimar Republic, known for his striped suits. The success of this model led to the decision to produce different sizes. The M1000 is three-times the larger version and is now the flagship model of the German brand.
Unrivalled craftsmanship:
It takes a lot of design work to achieve such a contrast in colour and brilliance. The central part of the body, made of cellulose acetate, is produced using an in-house manufacturing technique whose secret is still jealously guarded. Many manufacturing steps are required to produce a thin sheet with green and black stripes. The manufacturer then carefully inspects the sheet before shaping it into a cylinder and sliding the resin body and the rest of the assembly inside.
The top of the body and the top of the grip are made of high quality turned resin. Its typical double ring at the end of the body and at the base of the cap, as well as the ring at the grip, are then integrated into the object with precision in order to obtain a perfect fit between the different parts. The final step is the careful polishing of the fountain pen to give it its full lustre.
The various rings, the top of the cap and the clip are 24-carat gold-plated. Other elegant details include the finial with the famous bird at the top of the cap and the magnificent clip in the shape of a pelican’s beak. The fountain pen is filled by an integrated piston. An example of Pelikan’s fabulous workmanship: each fountain pen is assembled by hand.
The nib:
Pelikan chose a magnificent two-tone nib, engraved with its logo, made of 18-carat gold with partial rhodium plating. Its length is impressive, measuring 27 mm. It is available in sizes EF, F, M and B.

Qualité irréprochable! Un pur plaisir visuel et une écriture très “sensuelle”.
C’est l’effet de l’extraordinaire plume en or 18 k du M1000…
Merci d’avoir partagé votre joie avec nous, cher Nicolas. Nous sommes ravis que le Souverän vous plaise tant 🙂
