Capped, it reads as the M800 across a room — black high-grade resin, 24-karat gold-plated trim. Uncapped, it lays down a wet, unbroken line on whatever the other side brought to the deposition, and it starts on the first stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap posts, so the pen in hand is full length, and the resin is diamond-cut and self-polishing — a finish for a pen that is uncapped forty times a day. It arrives fitted with Pelikan's high-performance rollerball refill in Medium, black, a standard rollerball format, so replacements are not a search.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pelikan, Hannover, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Souverän R800 rollerball, 800 series (the M800's match)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capped; posts for writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pelikan high-performance rollerball refill, standard rollerball format; one fitted on arrival (Medium, black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grade resin, diamond-cut, self-polishing — Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24K gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three years from Pelikan, plus our Thirty-Day Assurance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock the R800 in Black alone, because it is bought to sit beside the M800 in Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRollerball or fountain pen?\u003c\/strong\u003e The fountain pen is the one you write with at your own desk; the rollerball is the one you take to someone else's, where the paper is not yours to choose.

Pelikan's three-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects has no geographical restrictions, and it covers the Souverän and Classic series. A defect is repaired, or the pen replaced, at Pelikan's choice. Claims go through us as the retailer, or to Pelikan directly with proof of purchase, and the details are in our Warranty Policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFountain, rollerball, or ballpoint — which one signs?
