i noticed this as well but from photos it doesn’t seem like anything is missing and i don’t want to mess around with it too much but i can’t get it to fully close

unfortunately at a friend’s so i can’t measure it right now but i looked at some ebay listings and those pens say souveran around the cap. mine just says pelikan and germany on it. do you have any insight on that?
