Overview

The Pelikan Souverän M400 Black-Green carries forward the black-and-green striped design of Pelikan’s model 400, introduced in 1950. Its striped sleeve is made of cellulose acetate, with black resin components and 24-karat gold-plated clip and rings preserving the familiar color scheme.

Pelikan prepares the striped material over several months, then shapes the sleeve with a natural diamond. The beak-shaped clip completes the design, while a 14-karat gold nib with rhodium decoration, a piston filling system for bottled ink, and a screw-on cap complete the German-made fountain pen.

The listed barrel length is 120 mm, with a posted length of 149 mm and a barrel width of 11 mm. Without the cap, the pen weighs 11 g.

Questions & Answers

What is the history behind the green stripes?

Pelikan introduced its model 400 in 1950 with a black-and-green striped design. The Souverän M400 continues that design through its striped sleeve, black resin components, and gold-plated decoration.

How is the striped material made?

The sleeve is cellulose acetate. Pelikan prepares the striped material over several months, then shapes the sleeve with a natural diamond.

Does it take cartridges or bottled ink?

The pen uses a built-in piston filling system for bottled ink, so it does not take cartridges or require a separate converter.

Primera compra muy satisfactoria

Después de varios meses admirando las fantásticas fotos de producto de Iguana Sell, me decidí a comprar una pluma pelikan m400 en stock y de momento muy buena experiencia. Toda la información necesaria en la web, envio rápido y preciso, y pluma escribiendo bien, lo que es de agradecer porque el control de calidad de las estilograficas es difícil. Repetiré.

Smooth Moves

The lightness of this fine writing instrument makes writing effortless. With arthritis in my hands, this helps me continue to journal with pen and ink. Choosing smooth paper adds additional ease to the writing experience. This is my first high end nib which makes all the difference in the ease and flow of script. I only regret that I didn't invest in this many many years ago, but hopefully, whoever becomes the lucky next owner will treasure it as much as I do.

Thank you very much for your feedback on your new pen! We're delighted to hear that you are enjoying the overall writing experience, and we appreciate your satisfaction. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please let us know. Thank you for choosing us!

Pelikan M400 F-nib Excellent Pen

Pelikan M400 F-nib Excellent Pen Black and Green. Writing with this pen is smooth and consistent. There is no interruption in the line and changes in the thickness of the line. Depend on the ink, the pen can be more or less watery, but it is the ink not the pen. I also own Pelikan M600 F-nib, which has slightly stiffer nib than M400, but M600 is bigger pen, not for every day prolonged writing. M 400 is ideal size, balanced and light weight pen. I love both pens, Pelikan M400 and M600.
