ABOUT THE PEN:
The Pelikan Souverän 805 offers a palladium-plated silver variation to the globally revered Souverän 800 range.
The striped material that makes up the distinctive barrels of the Souverän range is composed from a celluloid cotton base using a formula developed specially for Pelikan. The layers are slowly built up over months before being sliced and shaped using a natural diamond.
The resin cap features characteristic double rings precisely integrated to present a seamless transition between materials. The glossy barrels are complemented to great effect by palladium-plated silver metal accents. The clip of the Pelikan represents a beak, offering yet another unique characteristic to this historic manufacturer, whose brand is one of the oldest trademarks in Germany.
Pelikan especially pride themselves on their expertise in creating nibs, inks and feeds; their mastery over these essential components enables them to create fine-writing instruments of the highest quality.

MY IMPRESSIONS:
The first Pelikan fountain pen I ever had. It was actually the first fountain pen I had other than Montblanc. Compared to Montblanc, the pen has a better price for similar performance. Although there isn’t as much variety, the nib and body are excellent. I like that you can easily replace the nib.
