Only few years after the first Souverän model was launched on the market, the Souverän in black was presented in 1985. The main difference between this pen and its predecessors is that the sleeve is not striped. The barrel is made of entirely black high-grade resin. The ink window that is near the grip section is set off in a shade of transparent green and its 24K gold-plated trim give this fountain pen an individual character and the nostalgic aura of an original classic pen.

The Pelikan M800 Black fountain pen is available with a two-tone 18k nib in widths EF, F, M, B, and BB.
