Pelikan was the first company in the world to do it. This technique causes the spindle inside the fountain pen to turn quicker than the end piece of the barrel with the help of two different threads. To this date, this fountain pen exists in many different variations, and though it has been refined in design and technical details over the time, the basic mechanism remains the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1950, the model 400 was launched. With its green-striped sleeve, it has become a world-wide symbol for the brand of Pelikan. In the eighties, the series was baptized Souverän, though popular lore has taken to call it by its nick-name Stresemann, because the state secretary of the “Weimarer Republik” was famous for his striped suits. Today, the original of Pelikan has additionally been equipped with a black “suit” made of high-quality resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Iconc Pelikan Barrel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdhering to a special Pelikan recipe, the raw material cotton is processed in many steps until it is shaped into a striped sheet.

It is then polished to a high sheen, before the slightly springy clip with its famous, stylized Pelikan is mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures of the M400\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElaborate and iconic cellulose acetate tortoiseshell striped sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14-ct\/585 gold nib with rhodium trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold plated finials including cap and clip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully gift boxed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapped \/ Retractactable: Capped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClippable:  Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip Material:  Gold Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFountain Pen Nib Colour: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFountain Pen Nib Material: 14k Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFountain Pen Nib Size: Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength Capped \/ Retracted: 12.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength Posted:  14.8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength Uncapped: 12.1cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Manufacture: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pelikan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48696124080368,"sku":"24905","price":550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/6020\/7498\/files\/m400-tortoise-fountain-pen---5.png?v=1767934194","url":"https:\/\/bowerbirdonargyle.com.au\/products\/pelikan-m400-fountain-pen-gold-trim-tortoiseshell-white","provider":"Bowerbird on Argyle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
