Product Description
Type Fountain pen with piston filling system
Product Name Lamy 2000
Manufacturer and Year Lamy, Germany -- Recent Production. Lamy introduced this pen in 1966 and has made minimal changes to the pen over the years. It's hard to date them though because the older features still appear in newer pens on occasion. This pen has the later clip, with the Germany 2 imprint underneath and it has a Lamy imprint on the side of the clip, something introduced later on. The section is single tone, which is also a later feature. It also has the later matte finish. The earlier pen has the brushed patterning but a gloss finish.
Length 5-7/16"
Filling System Piston filling system. We've tested it and it's working well.
Color Black Makrolon (polycarbonate plastic reinforced with fiberglass). It has a stainless steel clip and a matte finish that gives the pen a satin look.
Nib MEDIUM 14k gold which has been plated with platinum. It's very smooth, with excellent tipping.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips. The viewing window is perfectly clear. The cap finial has a small spot of damage on the edge, which doesn't affect the functioning at all. The clip is still secure in place (the finial also acts as a screw to keep the clip in place, and also to replace it in case of damage - clever engineering, eh?), so the mark is only surface damage. We've included a close-up shot of this area in the photos. Beyond this, there are only light signs of usage.
