Overview

The Pelikan Souverän M405 Black-Silver matches palladium-plated details with a fully rhodium-plated 14-karat gold nib against polished black resin.

Palladium plating gives the beak-shaped clip and rings their silver-colored finish. The rings sit nearly flush with the black resin, with paired rings and a smaller ring on the grip adding detail to the design.

A complete rhodium coating gives the 14-karat gold nib its matching silver appearance. Pelikan assembles the fountain pen in Germany and tests each gold nib by hand. The built-in piston uses bottled ink, a green window shows the ink level, and the cap screws on to close.

With a barrel length of 120 mm and a barrel width of 11 mm, it measures 149 mm posted and weighs 11 g without the cap.

Questions & Answers

Why does the gold nib look silver?

The 14-karat gold nib is fully coated with rhodium. Its silver appearance matches the palladium-plated clip and rings.

Can I see how much ink is left?

Yes. A green ink window in the barrel shows the level in the built-in piston reservoir.

Does it use cartridges or bottled ink?

It uses bottled ink in a built-in piston filling system. No cartridge or separate converter is needed.
