Pelikan Souveran M805 Stresemann Fountain Pen (18K Broad) Black-Anthracite with Silver Trims

Description

Gustav Stresemann (1879- 1929), the foreign minister of the Weimar Republic, was honoured with the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1926; he and his French colleague Aristide Briand, were recognised for their reconciliatory work between nations after World War I. Besides his impressive political career, Stresemann also became famous for a new kind of suit that was sufficiently formal for official presentations and yet comfortable enough for work at the office. Stresemann liked to wear suits with thin stripes, and people began calling Pelikan?s striped fountain pens by the same name. Both the suits and the pens still carry his name to this day. To officially acknowledge and honour this legend, Pelikan has now named the Souver?n model with elegant anthracite stripes the ?Stresemann?.The barrel with its deceptively simple anthracite stripes is made of cellulose acetate, using a traditional process that is extremely work-intensive. The black portion is created using finely turned pieces of high-quality resin. The clip and the rings are plated with palladium. The pen has an inbuilt differential piston filling mechanism and its gold nib is completely rhodanised to obtain a silver sheen. The nib of every single writing instrument is mounted by hand and carefully checked to fulfil the strictest quality criteria, giving you an instrument worthy of a legend.The 18k gold nib is available in Extra-Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad.
