Pelikan Pura P40 burgundy fountain pen, F or M nib

The PURA series is defined by its curves. Its transparent design and classic lines give it an intimate character, inviting you to enjoy the pleasure of writing without a care. Its other aspects are equally impressive. The double-anodised aluminium exudes confidence in the hand, and the finish of glossy silver interwoven with matte colours lends the PURA series a distinctive elegance.

The origins of Pelikan date back to chemist Carl Hornemann, who on 28 April 1838 presented his clients with an offer of oil paints, watercolours, and the so-called Pelikan archive – the foundation of the company's production line, from which the globally renowned brand developed. The German manufacturer specialises in producing luxury writing instruments.

Decades of experience, specially trained employees, and the utmost care at every stage of the production process ensure that each product is solidly crafted and unique. Depending on the model, the nibs are made of 14 or 18-carat gold. Additionally, they are sometimes rhodium-plated to achieve a silver sheen. The decoration on the nib is typical for each model.

The writing instruments of the German brand Pelikan, with their characteristic resin body and clip shaped like a pelican's beak, have become a symbol of the finest taste and sophistication over the years.
