The model 600 is the medium size of Souverän.
Classic shape, regular size, it's a pen suitable for man's or woman's hands.
The green striped model is the same in all sizes (400, 600, 800, 1000) for one of the most wellknown models in fountain pen's history.
Barrel made in cellulose acetate, with the same Pelikan recipe of '50s; the raw material cotton is processed through many different steps until it is shaped into a striped sheet, then formed into the right shape, cut and sanded with a diamond.
The Souverän was produced in red stripes, with the same process, as well as in blue stripes.
All the Souverän 600 feature the differentiated piston filling mechanism. Introduced by Pelikan in 1929, it causes the spindle inside the fountain pen to turn quicker than the end piece of the barrel, with the help of two different threads.
The 14 Kt gold nib, bicolor, refined with rhodium decor, is tested by hand.
Rings and clip are 24 kt gold plated; the clip is slightly springy and shows its famous, stylized pelican's beak shape.
La Souverän 600 is available also in ballpen version, still divided in black-and-striped, for all the3 colors.
Rotating mechanism.
All Souverän pens come in a rectangular elegant box, with a complimentary pencase.
