CLASSICS

These are great options for those who don't want to go wrong or take risks by innovating on this occasion, and above all, they are key pieces that should not be missing in any collection. What is a classic if not a proven and beloved success? Of course, the traditional Sailor 1911 Realo in a somewhat more unique color and a Pelikan Souverän M 600, a staple in any of its available colors.
