Pelikan Souveran M1000: The Ultimate Fountain Pen

At the top of the Pelikan Souveran range sits the M1000: the largest, heaviest, and most commanding pen Pelikan makes as a standard production model. It is a pen that makes an immediate impression, and writing with it is an experience unlike any other in the range.

Size and Presence

The M1000 is a big pen. It is noticeably larger than the M800, with a broader barrel, a longer body, and a weight that gives it a genuinely substantial feel in the hand. If you have ever felt that other pens are too slim or too light, the M1000 will feel immediately right.

It is not a pen for everyone. Those with smaller hands may find it unwieldy, and it is not well suited to carrying in a shirt pocket. But for those who write at a desk and want the most impressive writing instrument available, it is hard to surpass.

The Nib

The M1000 carries the largest nib in the standard Souveran range, and it is extraordinary. The 18 carat two-tone gold nib has a springiness and expressiveness that smaller nibs cannot match. Writing with it feels effortless, and the line it produces has a character and depth that is immediately apparent.

It is available in the full range of nib sizes from Extra Fine to Broad.

Ink Capacity

The M1000 holds more ink than any other pen in the Souveran range, with a capacity of around 1.8ml. For heavy writers, this means significantly fewer trips to the ink bottle.

Who Is the M1000 For?

  • Writers with larger hands who find smaller pens uncomfortable
  • Those who want the most expressive and characterful nib in the Souveran range
  • Collectors looking for the flagship Pelikan model
  • Anyone who wants a serious desk pen that commands attention
  • Those buying a truly exceptional gift for a pen enthusiast

Is It Worth It?

The M1000 is priced at the top of the standard Souveran range, and it justifies every penny. The nib alone is worth the price of admission for serious fountain pen writers. If you have worked your way through the M400, M600, and M800 and want to go further, the M1000 is the natural destination.
