The large size of the Souverän 800 range

A classic line with generous dimensions, suitable for a larger hand. The green striped model is the same as the one found in all sizes of the range (400, 600, 800, 1000), one of the most recognizable collections in the history of fountain pens.

The characteristic green and black striped livery, with the iconic beak-shaped clip, is the distinctive feature that has accompanied the Souverän range since its inception in the 1980s, designed as a tribute to historical Pelikan models from the 1930s. The 800 model sits between the more compact 600 and the imposing 1000, offering a good balance between size and handling.

The filling system is a piston mechanism integrated into the barrel: it allows you to fill the pen directly from an ink bottle, without the need for cartridges. To learn more about how this mechanism works, you can consult the dedicated entry on Wikipedia.

The nib is made of 18-karat gold and is available in different widths to suit different writing styles. The beak-shaped clip, inspired by the pelican's bill, is another distinctive detail that the brand has maintained since its founding in 1838. A suitable choice for those looking for a prestige fountain pen to pair with other models in the range, such as the Pelikan Souverän 1000.

The barrel of the Pelikan Souveraen 800 is made of cellulose acetate, still produced using the same technique as in the 1950s; the raw cotton material undergoes numerous processing steps until it is transformed into a striped sheet, which is then shaped, sandblasted, and cut into a cylinder with diamond tools.
The Souverän was also made with red stripes, using the same process, and with blue stripes.

The nib

The nib, made of 18kt gold, two-tone, finished with rhodium decoration, is hand-tested for each pen.

The filling system is a differential piston: a mechanism introduced by Pelikan in 1929, which makes the piston inside the fountain pen rotate faster than the end of the barrel, thanks to two different threads.

24kt gold-plated finishes; the clip features a subtle spring effect and the classic "pelican beak" shape.
The Souveraen 800 fountain pens and rollerballs are packaged in an elegant rectangular box, with a free pen pouch.
