Pelikan Souverän M805 Stresemann fountain pen, fine nib. This is the anthracite pinstripe M805 with the 18K rhodium-plated nib (marked 18C-750). The factory sticker is still on the pen, and it comes with its gift box, white leather pouch, outer sleeve, booklets, and the stamped warranty card.
I bought this pen new from Iguana in February 2026. This pen has never been filled, I dipped it once to test it, and that's the only ink it has ever seen (you can see a trace along the nib slit in the close-up photo).
I have never used it because of the nib's feel: it has general response in all directions; I was considering having it tuned to my preference but never got to it. The tipping is intact and correctly shaped (see the loupe photo). If your preference is for a super smooth glide, a nibmeister costs $30–60. Pelikan nib units unscrew, so swapping the unit is another option, but if you want a super smooth pen, I'd recommend something else. (For comparison: This is my only Pelikan, and I like Pilot pens but dislike Sailor pens because of their response.) The price reflects what I consider a bit of a flaw.
Dipped in ink once to test. Everything else as new: factory sticker still on the pen, no scratches or damage. Includes gift box, leather pouch, outer sleeve, booklets, and the dealer-stamped warranty card.
The warranty card is stamped IGUANA and dated 05/FEB/26 and is in the box. Apart from the nib feel, the pen is exactly as it left the retailer. Free insured US shipping. Happy to answer questions or take more photos.
