Tortoiseshell-White Pelikan Souverän K400 Ballpoint Pen

The 400 and 405 designs are a diminutive 12.7cm in length, making them the second smallest in the Souverän range, perfect for writers who prefer the feel of a smaller pen. The 400 features the classic 24-carat gold accents.

Pelikan's distinctive striped barrels are available in red, black, green and tortoiseshell-white, with the 400 range also offering a solid black finish of high grade resin.

The striped material that makes up the distinctive barrels of the Souveran range is composed from a celluloid cotton base using a formula developed specially for Pelikan. The layers are slowly built up over months before being sliced and shaped using a natural diamond.

The resin cap features characteristic double rings precisely integrated to present a seamless transition between materials. The glossy barrels are complemented to great effect with 24-carat gold. The clip of the Pelikan represents a beak, another characteristic unique to this historic manufacturer; one of the oldest trademarks in Germany.

Pelikan especially pride themselves on their expertise in creating nibs, inks and feeds; their mastery over these essential components enables them to create fine-writing instruments of the highest quality.

The Souverän K400 ballpoint pen accents standard ballpoint refills and uses a push-button mechanism to extend and retract the tip.
