| 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 dark gray ink window (barely visible in this scan) or the more
usual bright green, as seen below. 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
$655.00
Our price for the M1000: $524.00 |

| The image above is of the Pelikan M1050 version of the M1000. With a
vermeil (gold over sterling silver) cap, the barrel can be either the standard
Black with green ink window, as pictured above, or Green Stripe. Our price for the M1050: $749
(These pens are long out of production but we have managed
to acquire a few more).
|
| 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. | |
M1000 Testimonials

| "Hi Pat, Wow, what
pens! They are the kings of my pen collection! I can see these two will become
family treasures with my two sons. (They are 20 somethings and too young to handle
the awesome responsibility of such magnificent pieces). They have already put
them on their "lust list" along with my 1966 Mustang. Dream on boys.
In the meantime I am delightedly writing away, and loving every minute of it.
These two perform with perfection, each out performing the other. I do love this
pair. Thank You for rushing them to me so I could take them along to the book
signing tonight. (They can be my body guards :-) ...You All are the Best... Shea
Stanfield" (2/12/06) "I
received the Pelikan (M1050). It is absolutely gorgeous! The OBB nib writes like
a dream. The Pelikan clip is a superb design-the elevation of the tip makes it
much easier to clip inside a suit jacket pocket. The pen not only fills the hand
nicely, but is very impressive when topped with the vermeil cap. Taking this pen
out, uncapping it, and beginning to write is an impressive show all by itself.
I think I may have found my ideal pen. George A. Heitczman" (8/9/04) |
