Pelikan M625 Sterling

Pelikan M625 Sterling and Blue Silver


Pelikan has created a sterling silver and dark transparent blue fountain pen. The simplicity of the design is what keep us coming back to Pelikan pens. The blue enamel bands are an art deco design, updated for the 21st century. With bars of deep blue enamel inlaid onto a sterling silver cap, a sterling silver section, blind cap and a rhodium plated (white metal) 18K nib, this pen is a good example of style and engineering.

The hardest metal work to do well is the simplest. Any imperfection would show. None are here. The cap is engraved with "Ag 925" for sterling silver and "Pelikan Souverän Germany" around the lip. There is room for an engraved personalization on the side of the cap.
	The M625 barrel is such a deep blue that it appears to be black. Because we could not light this pen from behind on this series of photos the transparency does not show. When it is held to the light, though, the barrel shows a rich deep ultramarine semi-transparent blue. This blue is much deeper than the Pelikan Blue Ocean. If you look carefully far to the left you will just barely see the threads of the inner barrel showing through. This pen, at 30 grams, is heavier than standard M600 series which weighs only 17.6 grams. The M625 measures 5 1/4" long with its cap on and 6 1/16" with the cap posted. The diameter at the narrowest part of the section is .39" and the barrel diameter is .49". These measurements are very similar to the M600 Souverän. Just like all the higher quality Pelikan pens, this M625 has a smooth piston-filling system, activated by twisting the sterling blind cap at the end of the barrel.
Notice how the silver of the cap picks up the reflection of the nib and section. Only in this photo can one see a hint of the blue color in the inlaid cap bars. The crest of the cap sports the Pelikan logo of the adult bird in the nest feeding its young, carried out in the theme of silver against deep blue.

This is the very first metal section on a Souverän fountain pen. Notice the fine quality of the metal work in the picture above. The barrel threads are crisply and deeply cut, but have a smooth rounded surface which is friendly to the fingers. The flare on the sterling section is beveled back from the nib. This design departure is well thought out and beautifully executed. This fountain pen comes with a single-tone rhodium plated 18K nib. We can provide this pen with a Fine, Medium or Broad nib. It can be outfitted with a standard two-tone 14K M600 nib as well, creating a greater range of nib choices.

"The Pelikan Souveraen 625 is truly amazing. My right-hand pen has long been a Pelikan Souveraen 400 that I received as a Christmas present some 15 years ago, and it has always been a real workhorse. I was looking forward to the same quality in a slightly larger pen, but not only is the quality of the 625 impressive, it also writes even better than my old pen. I gather that you guys have made some modifications for ink flow and the like, and the results are absolutely spectacular. The nib is such a joy to write with that I was tempted to finish my dissertation in longhand. And it's also one of the most beautiful pens I've seen: it has clean and elegant looks, without any pretension or gaudiness, while still being striking and distinctive. It's a rare thing to find a pen that looks good next to a Remington Streamliner. Thanks for doing such fine work.-- Robin J. Sowards" (7/18/06)
