Made in 1994, The Pelikan P371 in Steel has a barrel made of high quality metal in a design that was to be regarded as a classic: the 'New Classic'.

All the fountain pens have a black grip section like the Signum series. The nibs and feeds of the pens are made in classic Pelikan style, and the form of the narrow tapered clips is also a classic. All fountain pens have a gold plated trim ring on the end of the grip section. Likewise, the fountain pens with gold nib had a extra trim ring on the cap, which the fountain pens with steel nibs don´t have.
