Lamy 2000 Fine And Tuff Writer Tactical Pen Fs

[wmfowler]

As it always goes, I have found something I just have to have... AGAIN! So, I am going to move a couple of pieces that I don't use...

 

First, the Lamy 2000 Fine is about 3 months old and was inked once with Noodler's Legal Lapis. The nib creep was a little more than I bargained for and it left a little residue in the cap (seen in pics). The pen has been thoroughly cleaned, flushed, and has been in storage for a few weeks. It presents as new when capped or posted with no scratches or blemishes on the barrel, section, hood, nib, cap, etc. The only indication it was ever inked is the residue in the cap (and there's not much of that). A QTip probably cleans that, but I keep forgetting to bring one to work. Great F nib that writes a super-smooth, wet M line with the nib on-center. A little bit of tooth if you rotate the nib slightly off center which is how I used it as I like the feedback. Say $85 shipped CONUS on the Lamy. ON HOLD

The Tuff Writer Tactical Pen is one of those things that I got just for the novelty of having it. It actually ended up being a pretty good writer despite the finger grooves that make it appear unwieldy. Uses Fisher, Parker, other similar refills and comes with one each in blue and black (Fisher refills). The finish is more matte on one side of the pen than the other. I am not sure if this is from being in storage and one side being exposed to the air and the other not, or if some furniture polish may have gotten on it and done this. Anyway, it is not really noticeable unless you are looking for it and i tried to depict it in the pics, but it is hard to tell. you will note some finish wear on the spring steel clip and at the edge of the finger grooves. Anyway, this is the black, sanitized (no markings of any kind - super stealthy ninja model, I guess) version with the finger grooves rather than knurling. I think this was called the EDC version or something like that back when it was new. Technical details

Thanks for the inquiries. I wanted to let everyone know that both pens were sold. The Lamy went to a new FPN'er and the Tuff Writer was sold locally. Thanks to all who inquired and sent PM's. And thanks to FPN for the opportunity to showcase these products to an interested audience.

 

Thanks,

[deadmongoose]

My LAMY arrived today; packaging was excellent, in fact it took me a good 15mins to get inside!

 

Communication and dispatch time were also great so thank you very much.

 

Oh, and what a beautiful pen.
