Pelikan Souverän M1000 Raden Infinity FOUNTAIN PEN

LIMTED EDITION 

The Raden Red Infinity uses the same techniques previously employed on the Green Ray and White Ray all-be-it to a much different effect. The product literature indicates that the Red Infinity uses colorful pieces of pearlescent Australian abalone shell, particularly those pieces that skew towards a green hue. A urushi lacquer is used to create the red color scheme to which silver colored powder is then applied before the rectangular sections of abalone are laid down. The whole thing is then sealed with additional coats of lacquer. Based off of the M1000 chassis, that gives the artists a big canvas to work off of. The section is not red like the rest of the elements but instead made from black resin. Just behind the section sits a dark green ink view window. Rounding out the look is the standard gold-plated furniture of the Souverän line which consists of a beak clip, two trim rings at the piston knob, two cap bands, and a single trim ring at the section.  The furniture appears to be done in the traditional Souverän style and not the revised trim style that we saw with the new m800 Green The cap top sports Pelikan’s single chick logo plated in gold.  Every Red Infinity will come equipped from the factory with a two-tone 18C-750 gold nib in a medium width. Because it is a standard M1000 nib, some retailers will swap in another size upon request, or you may do so after the fact.  These have always come packaged in a traditional Japanese gift box made of Paulownia wood therefore I expect the same to hold true here.

Only 400 pieces have been made for worldwide distribution therefore availability will be very limited. This is the same limitation that we’ve seen with other Raden releases in the last several years
