The Pelikan Souveran M405 Fountain Pen in the Stresemann finish brings the brand's signature striped aesthetic into a refined silver-grey palette. Its anthracite pinstripes, paired with cool-toned trim, create a restrained, professional presence that slips seamlessly from briefcase to journal while retaining the unmistakable Pelikan character.

Craftsmanship & Design

The M405 pairs a striped cellulose acetate barrel with a high-gloss black resin cap, grip, and piston knob. Subtle translucency within the stripes offers a discreet view of the ink level, echoing Pelikan's functional design heritage. Rhodium-finished accents and the Pelikan beak clip complete the silhouette with a crisp, modern contrast to the warm gold found on other Souveran lines.

Compact yet substantial, the M405 sits comfortably in the hand. The screw-cap posts securely without upsetting balance, and the fit and finish reflect the precise standards that have long defined Germany's best writing instruments.

Writing Experience

A rhodium-plated 14k gold nib provides a smooth, confident line with a touch of spring, well-suited to sustained note-taking and thoughtful correspondence. Pelikan's piston-filling mechanism delivers generous ink capacity and consistent flow, making this a dependable daily writer that rewards with minimal maintenance. The nib unit is removable for straightforward cleaning and easy tuning, and a full range of sizes (EF, F, M, B) supports everything from fine annotation to expressive signatures.

Heritage

Pelikan's striped Souveran design has become one of the most recognizable signatures in fine writing, and the Stresemann colorway is a nuanced nod to classic pinstripe tailoring. The result is a pen that feels timeless rather than nostalgic, blending a storied design language with contemporary, silver-toned detailing.
