LIMITED EDITION
Souverän M1000 Raden Black Infinity

The limited edition M1000 Raden Black Infinity is an absolute breathtaking masterpiece of Japanese artistry. The master artist has created an outstanding piece of art using the traditional Raden technique. For the M1000 Raden Black Infinity, sections of shells selected from the colorful abalone green colored mother of pearl shell were smoothed and cut into rectangular shapes by hand. The first step is to paint the surface of the
fountain pen in black by using urushi lacquer. In the next step the stripes are fixed to the cap and barrel by a coating of lacquer.

Several coats of paint are applied, each of them must dry and harden completely before the next coating is applied. Between the finishing steps, the lacquered surface of the fountain pen is polished repeatedly. A subtle silver sparkle can be seen on the black urushi lacquer. This effect is achieved by sprinkling fine sterling-silver powder. Finally, the master artist individually signs and numbers each fountain pen by using Maki-e technique.

This edition is the successor to the coveted M1000 Red Infinity. The motif is reminiscent of a chessboard pattern and has no beginning or end on the round body of the fountain pen, hence the name Infinity. It is a lucky design that stands for long-lasting family happiness, prosperity, positive development, and professional success.

The basis for this wonderful edition is the Souverän M1000, Pelikan’s largest fountain pen model, which is manufactured with great attention to detail near Hannover in Germany and afterwards refined in Japan. Each individual piece is made by hand and is truly unique.

The M1000 Raden Black Infinity fountain pen is a piece of art with a finely chased 18 carat gold nib in the size M with a rhodium decor. Each fountain pen is equipped with a piston mechanism and is offered in a traditional Japanese gift box which is made of Paulownia wood. This unique Limited Edition
will be available in October 2024 in a limited edition of only 400 pieces worldwide.

The Pelikan M1000 Raden Black Infinity is now available for pre-order with expected delivery in October 2024. Payment will be collected once the pens are in stock and ready to ship.
