Pelikan Pens is a German manufacturer of fine fountain pens , Rollerball pens, Ballpoint pens and Mechanical Pencils, credited with the invention of the differential-piston filling method. Their "true" history began with the model "100" and the modified 100N (both fountain pens), which sparked the genesis of the company's distinctive styling.

The modern-day flagship line is known as the "Pelikan Souveran", consisting of the M300, M400, M600, M800 and the M1000. Pens with vermeil embellishments, called Toledo, are manufactured in the sizes of (new-style) M600 and M800, and they're respectively referred to as M700 and M900. Pelikan is notable for manufacturing many of their pens using Cellulose acetate, instead of the more modern plastics used by most other major pen makers.

 A Pelikan pen is considered a true friend of the fountain pen enthusiasts. The special editions of Pelikan are a craze since they represent a great prouduct for the value.
