Pelikan Souverän M760 (1988-1995)

The M760 and its sibling, the M750, were introduced to commemorate Pelikan's 150th anniversary in 1988⁽¹⁾ (Pelikan-collectibles). The M750 was rolled silver in a burley cone pattern with gold accents on the clip, crown, and section ring. The ink window was green, and the cap tube had a rectangular blank for engraving. The M760 was similar to the M750, but with rolled gold instead of silver⁽²⁾ The M760 had same burley cone pattern and overall gold trim style (Pelikan’s Perch). The nibs were a bicolor rhodium-plated or monochrome 14 carat gold (or 18 carat gold)⁽³⁾. Production was not limited to the anniversary year and ran from 1988 to 1995 (Pelikan-collectibles).

Note;⁽¹⁾The early models had "1838-1988" engraved on the cap tube rim, and the barrel was engraved with a unique serial number near the turning knob. Later, the engraving of the Jubilee years was omitted on becoming a regular model (Pelikan’s PerchPelikan-collectibles).
⁽²⁾The M760 is similar in appearance to the 700 of the 1950s, but the 700 was made entirely of solid gold.
⁽³⁾According to Pelikan catalog (1989) for the domestic market, M760 was fitted with a monochrome 14 carat gold nib and the M750 with a bicolor 14 carat gold nib. The nibs seem to have been 14 carat gold nib for the domestic market and 18 carat gold nib for the export market (Pelikan catalog (1992), 万年筆評価の部屋). But there exists also an M760 with a bicolor 18 carat gold nib. Thus, there were (at least) three types of nibs fitted with M760.
