Pelikan Souveran 800 Limited Blue o' Blue at Scottsdale Pen

Azure, Cerulean, Indigo, Lazuline or Sapphire....every time you look at the Pelikan Souveran 800 Limited Production Blue o' Blue fountain pen, you'll see a different hue. With a translucency which shines, this brand new fine writing instrument from Pelikan is destined to be a future classic.

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.

The clip and the rings are 24K gold-plated. The nib is made of 18K gold with a rhodium trim and an iridium grain. This model is available in the nib sizes F, M, B (please specify when ordering) and features the Patented Pelikan Differential Piston Refill System.
