Released in 2008, Polar Lights interprets the shifting greens and dark tones of the aurora through a lacquered metal barrel, deep resin components, and cool rhodium-plated trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a conventional Souverän M600, the M640 uses a weighted metal barrel with a gently swelling profile and a broad, straight clip rather than Pelikan’s familiar pelican-beak clip. The Polar Lights finish is predominantly green-black, with layered tones intended to recall the changing light of the aurora. Its polished surface keeps the decorative treatment visually rich without introducing a tactile texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector Significance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M640 series occupies an unusual place in modern Pelikan production: it retains the piston-filling architecture and gold-nib writing experience associated with the Souverän family while using a substantially heavier, more decorative body. Polar Lights was one of the 2008 releases in the series and has become increasingly difficult to find in well-preserved, complete condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWriting Experience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is fitted with an 18k gold Extra Fine nib and Pelikan’s integrated piston filling system. The EF nib provides a precise line while the M640’s additional weight gives the pen a more substantial feel in hand than a standard M600.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: M640 Polar Lights Special Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Beauties of Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Year: 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting Type: Fountain Pen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: Extra Fine, 18k Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling System: Piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Near mint pre-owned condition with original boxes and papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pelikan","offers":[{"title":"Extra Fine","offer_id":67620307829011,"sku":null,"price":999.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/6627\/files\/Pelikan-M640-Polar-Lights-Special-Edition-Fountain-Pen-uncapped-leaning.jpg?v=1791320662","url":"https:\/\/www.truphaeinc.com\/products\/pelikan-m640-polar-lights-special-edition-fountain-pen","provider":"Truphae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
