With a white cap and barrel ends and a stunning tortoiseshell souveran striped resin barrel this is a Pelikan pen of striking contrast. The K400 is the mid sized version of the Souveran range and is a very popular size, suitable for the average hand. The ballpoint has the same legendary craftmanship and attention to detail as their iconic fountain pen.

The Ballpoint pen with a body made of diamond-processed high-quality resin and a silver palladium plating to the finials. The Souverän ballpoint pen has an exchangeable large compartment refill 337 in black medium format.

Pelikan Souveran : A True Classic

In the year 1929, Pelikan introduced the differentiated piston mechanism. Pelikan was the first company in the world to do it. This technique causes the spindle inside the fountain pen to turn quicker than the end piece of the barrel with the help of two different threads. To this date, this fountain pen exists in many different variations, and though it has been refined in design and technical details over the time, the basic mechanism remains the same.

In 1950, the model 400 was launched. With its green-striped sleeve, it has become a world-wide symbol for the brand of Pelikan. In the eighties, the series was baptized Souverän, though popular lore has taken to call it by its nick-name Stresemann, because the state secretary of the “Weimarer Republik” was famous for his striped suits. Today, the original of Pelikan has additionally been equipped with a black “suit” made of high-quality resin.

The Iconc Pelikan Barrel

Adhering to a special Pelikan recipe, the raw material cotton is processed in many steps until it is shaped into a striped sheet. It is then shaped and cut into the right shape with a diamond. Next, the characteristic double clips at the back of the barrel and on the cap are integrated into the material, with the highest precision in order to obtain a virtually seamless transition between the materials. It is then polished to a high sheen, before the slightly springy clip with its famous, stylized Pelikan is mounted.
