Pelikan M1000 Fountain Pen - Black/Green
Souverän - A world-famous classic. Even today, this classic with a black-and-green pinstripe sleeve is still considered a symbol of the Pelikan brand worldwide. The production of the Souverän sleeve is subject to an elaborate process. The classic striped material is made out of cotton based on a formula developed specifically for Pelikan. It takes months until the block providing the stripes is finished, whereupon the tailor-made plating is curved and cut into a contour using a natural diamond. The characteristic double rings are then integrated into the cap and barrel with the utmost precision. The writing instrument is then polished until it reaches a brilliant luster.
The Pelikan Souverän M1000 is Pelikan's flagship fountain pen. The elaborately striped green body is made of celluloid acetate, with a black cap and 24k gold plated accents. The large nib is made of 18k gold, refined with a rhodium decor, and writing quality tested by hand.
The fountain pen is equipped with a differential piston-filling mechanism with high-value brass components. The smooth operating piston mechanism allows you to fill this pen with bottled ink.

Amazing Nib, I don’t know why I waited so long to acquire a Pelikan. I now have 3, 2 vintage.
This has t;urned out to be one of my favorites pens. It writes on the wet side, and you need virtually no pressure to lay down your thoughts. It is large, but well balanced. The piston filling system holds a lot of ink.
The Goulet Pen Co knows fountain pens. I have always found the staff to be professional, helpful, and knowledgeable about all things fountain pen. And they carry a wide variety of writing instruments - from inexpensive starter pens to high-end collector pieces including one of my favorites, Pelikan.
Kay was wonderful in addressing a concern I had. She was very responsive in a very timely manner. It was like I had e-mailed a friend. Quite happy with my purchase. Would absolutely (and I have) do business with Goulet Pens again. Well done!
This pen fits my hand and writing style perfectly. If you enjoy a medium nib as I do I would suggest purchasing the fine nib for this brand. Goulet’s customer service and response has been very good.
A very fine pen.

One of my grail pens. I would like to recognize Kay.She was superb in getting my pen shipped to me e without me having to pay extra shipping.She is Great. Thank you Goulet pens.
Very, very nice. It writes smoothly and fills beautifully, One of the best writing pens I have felt or used. Also, it has a good heft to it. With the Pilot blue ink I am using, it leaves a light, clear message. Wonderful!
The quality is outstanding and Goulet made it easy!
It was not my first time to purchase from Goulet and it'll not be the last one.
The Pelikan M1000 broad nib is amazing. I am speechless. See photo. It is a sensual experience to write with it.
My experience was very satisfying. The Pelikan M1000 is very pleasing to the eye, fits my hand perfectly, and is very nice to write with. I also have the M805 in my collection which convinced me to purchase the M1000. I am so happy with Pelikan that I am looking to add another one to my collection very soon.
The pen has a nice, solid feel. Mechanically everything is 10 out of 10. Uncapping, filling, posting, writing... everything feels nice. The nib is beautiful and writes beautifully; overall, the attention to detail is impeccable. My only complaint is that the cap, which screws on, has resin threads. Experience has taught me that over time this will be a problem. But, as this pen will be in rotation with a number of other pens, that problem will face my heirs, not me. I've wanted this pen for quite a while, and I'm completely satisfied with it now that I have it. I must remark that the packaging is rather understated, but does include a pen sleeve. If you're wondering if the pen is worth the price, in my opinion (openion?) It absolutely is.
I just received my Pelikan Green Stripe M1000 and I was just blown away upon opening the box. OMG I'm Awe Struck at the brilliance of the pen inside the leather pouch. I almost didn't want to handle it. It is SO beautiful and gleams with gold and green. It's hard to express the workmanship of such a fine writing instrument. THANK YOU PELIKAN and Goulet pens. I coupled this pen with my favorite ink company Diamine Sherwood Green. A perfect match. I'm just setting here looking at the pen and continue to be Awe Struck. This was and now is, my GRAIL pen.
This pen is awe striking but I have inked it and found that this is a very wet nib, not exactly to my liking. I got the pen with a medium nib, it puts out ink like an extra broad, the pen does post, however if you invert it the cap will fall off. That is not to my liking either, I suggest an extra fine to fine nib. This nib is too wet for me.
