So dependig in this design we even today call the striped Pelikans "Stresemann", a name Pelikan should be more proud on than Souverän...

Thomas

 

Pelikan waited a very long time, but they eventually released some models in recent years named Stresemann, which are gray and black striped, much like the trousers.

-- Joel -- "I collect expensive and time-consuming hobbies."

 

INK (noun): A villainous compound of tannogallate of iron, gum-arabic and water,

chiefly used to facilitate the infection of idiocy and promote intellectual crime.

(from The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce)

I've looked through this thread but find myself a bit overwhelmed, but thought it better to post my question here than start a whole new thread.

 

I don't remember what this Pelikan rollerball is... I bought it a long time ago and all I remember is Souveran in the name. Can anybody help me narrow it down more than that?

Thank you!

The overall length might help to identify it.

Thank you for the reply... I measured it at 115 mm with cap closed but I used an app on my phone to do it because I couldn't find a ruler.

 

The closest thing I see online is Souveran 300 at 110 mm. (I think the 5 mm discrepancy falls within the error range of my phone.) Does Souveran 300 seem right to others?

 

Edit: Now that I've looked around, that seems to be a ballpoint pen and mine is a roller ball. Now I've thoroughly confused myself.

That looks to be a "new style" green marbled R200 rollerball dating sometime between 1997 and 2003. If accurate, it would not be a Souverän but rather part of Pelikan's Classic or Traditional line-up of pens.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
