Pelikan Pelikano Model 2010 / P480
- For the 50th anniversary of the Pelikano the look was completely redesigned for a new model of the pen. The section of the fountain pen is transparent with three soft feel profiles for the fingers. The feed and ink level can clearly be seen. The pen has an extremely robust matte metal cap and is available in both right-handed and left-handed versions. The first three different coloured models of 2010 (pink, blue and light green) saw further colours added in the following years (black, transparent, red and yellow).
Pelikan M710 Toledo Yellow
- Based on the Souveran M700 Toledo launched in 1997, the M710 Toledo Yellow has a body made of yellow resin with the decorative sleeve in the barrel done in Sterling Silver.
Pelikan Classic P200 & P205
- The fountain pen Classic Black has a timeless design with its barrel and cap in polished black. It is made of high-quality resin. The 24 carat gold-plated decorative rings and the characteristic Pelikan beak clip underline its traditional design. The Classic black P20x has a cartridge filling mechanism and is also available with silver fittings (P205) and all versions sport a gold-plated steel nib.
Pelikan M200 "Green-Marbled"
- This is one of the most recognised pen designs by Pelikan - the barrel and cap are made of high-quality resin in black and green. The anthracite ink viewing window is a classical feature just like the 24-carat gold-plated, decorative rings. The cap with the characteristic Pelikan beak clip, the Pelikan logo crowning the top of the cap, and the typical classical shape all harmonise together and give this writing instrument the distinctive Pelikan design. The polished high-quality gold-plated stainless steel nib is available in several different nib-sizes.
Pelikan Souveran M805 "Stresemann"
- The "Stresemann" design from Pelikan derives its name from the famous suit made popular by the former foreign minister Gustav Stresemann back in the 1920s. To honour this legacy, Pelikan launched the M805 fountain pen in high-quality black resin with the barrel made of cellulose acetate with anthracite stripes, using a traditional process that‘s extremely work-intensive. The clip and the rings are plated with palladium. The gold nib is completely rhodinized to obtain a silver sheen.
Pelikan Classic 205 "Blue-Marbled"
- The series M205 Blue-Marbled is back and brighter than before. An intense colour of bright blue has the familiar swirl of the well-known Green-Marbled version. It shows a fascinating mix of different shades of blue, that gives the product a certain depth. In combination with the silver rings and trimmings, the appearance complements the marbled Elegance series. The series M205 is offered as a fountain pen with differential piston mechanism.
Pelikan Souveran 405 "Stresemann"
- Similar in design to the M805 launched the previous year, Pelikan launched the size M400 fountain pen with the same style and trimming.
Pelikan Souveran 800 "Blue o'Blue"
- As a Special Edition, Pelikan launched the popular model 800 of the Souverän series in August 2010 in a new material called blue o‘ blue. The o‘ is short for ‚over‘ because the barrel looks as if several broad strokes of blue in different shades are put one over another. Both barrel and cap are made of this slightly translucent material. The technical production process goes through several steps. First, the acrylic material is cast into thick slabs, then cut into rectangular pieces. These pieces are next turned into a round shape and hollowed. Then the ready blue o’blue sleeves are put into a mould where the filling reservoir (or inner material of the cap) is added. In the last step, the final pieces are cut into their spherical shape and polished to a bright sheen.
Pelikan Souveran M101N "Tortoise-shell Brown"
- In 1937, Pelikan launched the first M101N with a global campaign and much success. From the six models in the series which became available throughout the years, the version in tortoiseshell brown was one of the most sought-after vintage pens. At the time, it was only sold outside Germany. As the shape and colouring still appeal to many collectors and lovers of vintage products today, Pelikan introduced a Special Edition that takes up the main characteristics of the M101N tortoiseshell brown. The tortoiseshell sleeve and cap that used to be of celluloid is now made of cellulose acetate. The nib is still 14-carat gold, and the size is smaller than today‘s fountain pens, just like it was back in 1937. The dark brown pieces are made of high-quality resin, and the clip, as well as the rings, are 24-carat gold-plated.
Pelikan Souveran 600 "Green o'Green"
- Just as with the "Blue o' Blue" M800 launched the previous year, Pelikan launched a Special Edition of the popular model 600 of the Souverän series in a new material called green o’ green. The o’ is short for ‚over’ because the material looks as if several broad strokes of green in different shades are put one over another. Both barrel and cap are made of this slightly translucent material. The clip and the rings are 24-carat gold-plated.
Pelikan M710 & M910 Toledo "Black-Silver"
- Following the introduction of the Toledo in various colours (Red and Yellow), Pelikan launched a Black resin version of the M710 in 2011 and the larger sized M910 in the following year. As with the other coloured models, the Toledo sleeve work is in Sterling Silver.
Pelikan Souveran M1005 "Demonstrator"
- When Pelikan registered the patent for the differential piston mechanism in 1929, nobody knew that the same technique would survive for decades ... But to this day, only a few small changes have perfected the piston mechanism, and the Demonstrator model, which was first introduced in a smaller size just to show how it works, became a global success. So Pelikan decided to launch this Special Edition, the Demonstrator in the size 1005 in the year 2011. The M1005 is the largest piston fountain pen of Pelikan and has a bigger capacity than any other piston fountain pen on the market. The nib is made of 18-carat gold, completely rhodinized to achieve a silver impression. The clip and the rings are palladium plated.
Pelikan Souveran M101N "Lizard"
- The Pelikan M101N Lizard is based on a historical model that dates back to 1937. While it keeps the traditional shape that is so essential for a Pelikan fountain pen, it has been adapted to today‘s modern standard. The patterned barrel and the cap of this fountain pen are made of cellulose acetate with a completely smooth surface. High quality resin was used for the black pieces, and the Pelikan logo is engraved in the traditional manner at the top of the cap. The precious metal palladium covers the clip and rings, and the 14-carat gold nib was completely rhodinized to obtain a corresponding silver effect.
Pelikan Souveran 600 "Ruby Red"

Pelikan Souveran M805 "Demonstrator"
- The Demonstrator as a completely transparent product was first launched to show how the piston mechanism works and soon became a huge success.

Pelikan M120 "Green Black"
- The first Pelikan model M120 was launched in 1955. For the re-launch, Pelikan has kept the traditional shape and the original material of the nib: gold-plated stainless steel.

Pelikan Souverän 1005 Stresemann
- Besides his impressive political career, the foreign minister of the German Weimar Republic, Gustav Stresemann (1879-1929), also became famous for the creation of a new kind of suit. The classical Stresemann suit consists of black/grey striped trousers and a single row jacket in black or anthracite. The Souverän® of Pelikan is popularly known as „Stresemann“, that is why Pelikan named the Souverän® black-anthracite after Gustav Stresemann. After a successful market introduction of Souverän® series 405 and 805 Stresemann, Pelikan follows this success by launching the most exclusive model of the Souverän® line, the M1005 Stresemann. The elegant piston fountain pen is equipped with a 18-carat gold nib which is completely covered by rhodium to obtain a silver sheen. The barrel with the deceptively simple anthracite stripes is made of cellulose acetate, using a traditional process that is extremely work-intensive but gives this series its elegant character.

The typical Pelikan beak clip and the decorative rings are plated with palladium. Together with the fully rhodanized 14 carat gold nib it gives this special edition an elegant silvery appearance.
