Pelikan M800 fountain pens are large piston-filling pens with an 18K gold nib. The Souverän M800 is a fairly large pen. It posts securely and the brass piston mechanism adds just the right amount of heft, creating a wonderful balance. The Pelikan Souverän 800 Black-Red fountain pen is a timeless classic. The rich red tone in the striped pattern of the barrel harmonizes wonderfully with the elegant deep black components and is perfectly complemented by the golden trimmings. This classic has now returned to Pelikan’s standard product range. The black and red striped barrel is made of cellulose acetate in an elaborate process and has a 24K gold plated ring and clip. The Pelikan Souveran collection is available in 4 shades - Blue, Red, Green and Black.
