Lamy 2000 Question?

[adyf]

Is there a way to tell the nib size on a Lamy 2000? I'm in communication with an ebay seller who doesn't know the nib size and says that there are no markings on the nib. Any ideas please?

Perhaps an experienced dealer could help answer your question. You might contact Joon in NY, Daly's Pen Shop, or a licensed Lamy dealer. Your owner might even print out Richard Binder's Stroke Width Chart for Reground Nibs (http://www.richardspens.com/?page=othertxt.htm), write a few strokes, and use it as a gauge. Both of you can access that resource online.

 

I have no connection with Mr. Binder except that of genuine respect.

That's right. No nib markings or size markings anywhere on the pen or nib, even if you pull it out. The good news is that a replacement nib from Lamy is pretty cheap if you want to replace it.

Adyf, does the seller have the original box? There should be a small white sticker on the box which will tell you the nib size.

I'll second this one. I have a Lamy Studio. Following purchase (which was at a brick and mortar) I was really surpised at how plain the nib looked. Kinda' "squarish," too, in comparison to a lot of nibs. That having been said, writes very smooth.

 

Great price at retail, FYI .

Just want to note, this is the Lamy 2000. The nib for this is different to the Lamy Safari or Studio ranges... The Lamy 2000 nib is VERY expensive.
