Pelikan Souveran 605 Stresemann Anthracite Stripes Fountain Pen

The foreign minister of the Weimar Republic, Gustav Stresemann (1879 - 1929), had an impressive political career. He also became famous for the creation of a new kind of suit with stripes. He liked to wear suits with thin stripes and as life sometimes goes, a legend developed. Soon there after, people around the world called striped fountain pens, "Stresemann".

To officially acknowledge and honor his legend, Pelikan has now named the latest addition, the Souveran with elegant stripes in anthracite, the "Stresemann".

Souverän - A world-famous classic. The production of the Souverän sleeve is subject to an elaborate process. The typical, striped material is made out of cotton based on a formula developed specially for Pelikan. It takes a month until the block providing the stripes is finished, whereupon the tailor-made plating is curved and cut into a contour using a natural diamond. The characteristic 24-carat gold-plated double rings are then integrated into the cap and barrel with the utmost precision. The writing instrument is then polished until it reaches a brilliant luster. The fountain pen has a handcrafted 18kt bi-color gold and rhodium nib. It fills only from an ink bottle.
