Which Lamy Is This?

[rva100]

Hello!

My mother just showed me her old Lamy (ca. 1980) which has a broken nib, and asked me if it is worth repairing. I would like to know what Lamy model it is, and how much it is worth, can anybody help me out?

 

Thanks!

I don't know which model it is, or what it is worth. But from my very limited perspective, it looks like it would be worth the $40 to fix the nib - if only because it is your mother's pen.

True!

From a Google search, looks like a Lamy 25p

It could be a Lamy 25P. I believe it uses standard short cartridges instead of Lamy proprietary ones.

Just to tie things up, I've answered on your other thread in the Lamy forum - correct that it's a 25P:

Thanks! I just saw that the cap says "Lamy 525", do you know if 525 is a version of the 25P, or is it a different pen?

I think what has happened with your pen is that the original cap has either been lost or damaged, and someone has replaced it with a charcoal coloured cap from a matching 525 fibre tip pen. (Cap colour should match the orange section - see here for an example: http://www.martiniauctions.com/item/id/Lamy_25P_pen_OCKER_F_nib_28191.html)
