Pelikan's story originates in 1838 when chemist Carl Hornemann founded a small company to produce ink and water colours. Based out of Hanover, Germany, the Pelikan logo itself is borne from his family's coat of arms and is now synonymous with one of the oldest brands in Germany.

Pelikan are famed for their 1929 invention of the differentiated piston filling mechanism. In the following decades, the company established its international reputation for manufacturing high-quality, plush fountain pens.

The new Pelikan M800 Blue Cream fountain pen features a high-quality dark blue barrel with royal Blue ink view window towards the nib. It's complimented by warm cream coloured high-quality resin for the cap, grip section and filler knob and is accompanied by 24c gold plated trim and 18c gold nib with rhodium decoration (available in a number of widths.)

This large piston filling pen is the most popular pen from the Pelikan Souveran range. It comes presented in its own gift box and is accompanied by the three-year Pelikan warrantee.
