AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pelikan Souverän M400 reveals a classic exemplar with the striped blue aesthetic (Blue Striated), accompanied by its original presentation set.

Technical Features and Design
Body and Material: The body features the iconic striped design in blue cellulose acetate, an intensive manufacturing technique that results in a subtly translucent pattern, allowing a view of the ink level.
Nib: Equipped with a two-tone 14-karat gold (585) nib with rhodium finish. The nibs in the 400 series are known for being soft and providing a generous and smooth ink flow.
Filling System: Uses Pelikan's historic differential piston mechanism, first introduced in 1929, widely regarded as one of the most reliable in the industry.
Dimensions: A medium-small pen, ideal for smaller hands or for those who prefer lighter instruments (approx. 15g). Measures about 125 mm closed and 150 mm with the cap posted.
Historical Context and Value Evolution: Although the original 400 model dates from 1950, the Souverän series was relaunched in the 1980s. The blue striped versions were added to the range in 1995.
Identification: Modern models (post-1997) are distinguished by details such as double decorative rings at the base of the body and the ring on the grip section, which helps prevent corrosion.
Accessories: The image shows the complete set, including the luxury box with the "Passion" logo, the 3-year warranty certificate, and the white synthetic leather pouch. This pen is often described as a luxury workhorse, balancing timeless elegance with durable German engineering.

Includes a white leather case, original box and warranty certificate and outer box
