Pelikan's M600 is a piston filler with a huge ink capacity. It writes like a dream with its 14K gold nib, and it looks great in vibrant red. It has an elegant design that fits well in the hand, and it comes with a traditional piston filling mechanism. It's no wonder why this pen is a timeless classic with a vibrant red color that will stand out in any collection. The cap band is engraved with "Souveran," and the material has a sparkling quality to it. This model is slightly smaller than the M800 and a fraction larger than the M400 collection. The striped container is partially transparent so that the ink supply is always visible. The familiar clip, in the shape of a pelican's beak, is gold-plated, giving a good match to the cap & barrel of the pen.
