It looks like a NOS, or being restored. It looks very nice.

 

Is it comfortable when you post the pen?

Very comfortable, it does feel pretty long though.

It's a scalar as I said on FPgeeks.

Hi,

 

I got a similar pen as a gift a couple of years back, been trying to figure out which Lamy pen it was. Mine doesn't even have the brand name on the clip or the nib, only on the converter. Its a pleasure to write with, but still not sure what it's called :-)

As in the thread title, it's a Lamy alu - model ref 44. It was similar to the st (45) and linea (49) models but with a lighter fluted aluminium body and cap. It shared the same front section as those models mentioned plus the cp1. It was discontinued around 2011 I think.

 

HTH,

Good to learn it is not a CP-1.

There are some variants. I would have judged it a CP-1.

 

My CP-1 is gray with little black outlined squares...similar to the paper in the picture but smaller of course.

Up until I got that pen in B....the lightest metal pen I have....my sterling silver P-75 was my lightest metal pen.

It's the same size as the cp1 (model 56) and shares the same front section. However, as you pointed out, the clip isn't the same as the cp1 but instead is the same as the linea and st models.

That could be a linea K rather than a cp1. Does your pen have the same clip as the one pictured in the OP?

PS: would someone PM Farmboy to get this thread moved to the Lamy forum?

linea and alu models are aluminium. linea S has printed stripes, alu has engraved stripes. cp1 is painted brass, st stainless steel.

Martin, yes it does.

 

The first one. Thanks a lot for the info. I'd not known about linea K: Just thought it a CP-1.

This is the Lamy forum. We do not want a pure Lamy forum...or no 'noobie' would know to buy a Lamy. Having taken a Lamy Factory tour last years summer. Want them to stay in Germany, and not be forced to move to China from lack of sales.

 

We need to keep Lamy in folks minds....not hide it away in it's own limited sub-forum.
