The Souverän Stresemann is dedicated to the foreign minister of the
Weimar Republic, Gustav Stresemann (1879- 1929),
who was honored
together with his French colleague Aristide Briand with the Nobel Prize
for Peace in 1926. In addition
to his political career, Gustav
Stresemann‘s style of clothing also sparked his fame. The classical
Stresemann suit consists
of a black/grey striped trousers and a single
row jacket in black or anthracite. The Souverän of Pelikan is popularly
known as
“Stresemann”, that ?s why Pelikan named the Souverän
black-anthracite after Gustav Stresemann.
Now Pelikan offers the Souverän in black-anthracite additionally to the sizes 1000, 800 and 400,
in the very popular size 600.
The barrel with the deceptively simple
anthracite stripes is made of cellulose acetate. For the black, finely
turned parts, high-quality
resin was used. The clip and the rings are
plated with palladium. The nib is made of completely rhodinized 14 carat
gold, to match the silver sheen.
