AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pelikan Souverän M400 reveals a classic exemplar with the blue striated aesthetic (Blue Striated), accompanied by its original presentation set.
Technical Features and Design
Body and Material: The body features the iconic blue striated cellulose acetate design, an intensive manufacturing technique that results in a slightly translucent pattern, allowing you to check the ink level.
Nib: Equipped with a bi-color 14-karat gold (585) nib with rhodium finish. The nibs in the 400 series are known for being soft and providing a generous, smooth ink flow.
Filling System: Uses Pelikan’s historic differential piston filling mechanism, first introduced in 1929, widely regarded as one of the most reliable in the industry.
Dimensions: A mid-small sized pen, ideal for smaller hands or for those who prefer lightweight instruments (approx. 15g). Measures about 125 mm when closed and 150 mm with the cap posted at the end.
Historical Context and Value Evolution: Although the original 400 model dates from 1950, the Souverän series was relaunched in the 1980s. Blue striated versions were added to the range in 1995. Identification: Modern models (post-1997) are distinguished by details such as the double decorative rings at the base of the body and the band 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 faux leather pouch. This pen is often described as a luxury workhorse, balancing timeless elegance with durable German engineering.

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