This very handsome Pelikan pen is finished in glossy black with a double cap band and two bands on the barrel, the clip and bands all being finished in silver plate.  This is quite a big, chunky pen, with a reputation for toughness and durability.  The M805 is identical to the M800 apart from having silver plated trim where the M800 has gold plate.

The Souverän 805, more often known as the "M 805" 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 black knob on the end of the barrel.  Note that unlike the cheaper models, the M805 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 medium point.  Note that other nib styles and widths, including italic and oblique are available for this pen and we can normally supply them within a few days - just enquire.

The superb writing performance of these pens is almost legendary and they have a reputation for dependability. This pen carries the usual manufacturer's warranty.
