Can Now Get Gold Nibs For Lamy Safari/al-Star/etc. In Uk

[PDW]

If you want to install a gold nib in your Lamy Safari or al-Star or other 'standard' Lamy pen, it's been a difficult job to get the nib as a spare in the UK. It was even more frustrating as they seemed to be freely available in the US.

 

The gold nibs can now be bought as separate items from a UK supplier: The Pen Company; see http://www.thepencompany.com/product/lamy-gold-nib/9989/). I have no affiliation other than being a satisfied customer.

Cheers for that. Appreciated! I didn't even know you could buy them separately.

 

I've just looked on ebay and thankfully you can get them a lot cheaper than what they're asking for there (it's from China). £65 for a gold nib like that seems a bit...steep

I had no idea that gold nibs were available for the Lamy Safari/Al-Star/Vista. Where can they be obtained in the United States?

I actually don't think you can "freely" obtain the nibs in the US. Last time I talked to a service rep at Lamy USA (for repairing my Lamy 2000), I was told that I had to directly contact Lamy Germany for the gold Safari nibs.

I did, howver, get my hands on one from buying the 14k Lamy Studio

They are € 69 or circa £ 55 from La Couronne du Compte, so, as usual, a little more expensive in the UK but the right ball park. They ship internationally.

Waiting for more retailers to pick up this item and see the price go down a little.
