Pelikan Souverän M1000 Series
This is Pelikan's largest pen, the M1000. At a full 5 3/4" long, capped, it's for those who feel the Montblanc 149 is just a bit too small. Available with only two colors of barrel: black and green stripe. The image below is with a black cap. (The M1050 is the M1000 with a vermeil cap. Please see images below.)
We have the version, above, which has a bright green ink window. The M1000 actually writes very differently than the M800; this nib is larger, the tines are longer and naturally semi-flexible. If you write with medium to heavy pressure you may find that this pen delivers too much ink flow for you (an attribute of the semi-flexible nib). Pelikan provides a full range of nib units from EF to O3B (please click here for our Tipping Comparison chart) in a semi-flexible 18K. Retail price $775.00
Our price for the M1000: $620.00

The Green Stripe barrel with Black cap, gold-filled trim, above, is Pelikan's traditional color combination and a sure winner in the M1000 size.

 


This is one of our special customized nibs,
a 1mm formal italic. We shortened it so that it would satisfy the stiffness requirement of one of our calligraphers.

Because the M1000 nib is fairly soft, it can be a problem for calligraphers who want to control the amount of ink that is put on the paper. (A flexible nib will put down a varied amount of ink.) This modification adds $90 to the cost of the M1000 pen or nib unit.

Held at a vertical angle this nib is very crisp. It can only be used with down stokes and cross strokes. Up strokes will catch on the paper.Held at a low angle, it can be used, with some difficulty as a cursive writer. Because it is so crisp, it is very challenging to use. Most people will not find this nib smooth enough for everyday writing.
