This very handsome Pelikan pen is finished in dark glossy green with a double cap band and two gold bands on the barrel.  This is quite a big, chunky pen, with a reputation for toughness and durability.

The Souverän 800, which this pen is based on, is a traditional piston-filler, it is not a cartridge pen and must be filled from a bottle. The advantage of this is a large ink capacity compared to most modern pens. The filling mechanism is operated by twisting the knob on the end of the barrel.  Note that unlike the cheaper models, the M800 has a metal internal mechanism for greater reliability.

The nib is extremely attractive in itself and is made from solid 18ct gold, over-plated with rhodium, giving the two-colour effect. It bears the Pelikan logo and the imprint "18c - 750". It has a broad point. The nib is in perfect condition and is a great writer.

The distinctive feature of this pen is the "golf" image of two golf clubs and a golf ball in gold plated metal, applied to the barrel:

The superb writing performance of these pens is almost legendary and they have a reputation for dependability. This has got to be the pen for the golf fanatic!
