It's in very good condition. There are no cracks, chips, malfunctions, or engraved names, which are common issues with used striped pens. I will provide it in a condition suitable for writing. "Souverän" is a German word meaning "superior" or "excellent." As the name suggests, it is a classic writing instrument loved by enthusiasts around the world for its high quality and good value. The striped pattern, a characteristic design of Pelikan, is created by vertically slicing a block made by alternately bonding two different types of resin. The colors and patterns vary slightly, giving each pen its unique Pelikan personality. The practical and robust black type is also a popular color that allows you to enjoy the superb functionality and beautiful form of the Souverän. Please note that this listing is for the pen body only. If you would like the box as well, please let me know, and I will sell it to you for an additional 1800 yen.
