Do sellers on amazon India sell counterfeit lamys? I bought my first Lamy from Aadhya sales Corp on amazon a few days back. The ink window and nib don't line up at it seems the barrel requires a 10 degree turn. However I have not faced any other problem with the pen. Moreover the gift box seems entirely different from what I see online. Plus the box says Lamy is marketed my William Penn in India however I got it for Rs1500 on amazon even though the store doesn't offer any discount. I know the issues sound trivial but they still bother me. Any help would be appreciated.

As a first time Lamy user it's very difficult for me to identify if my Lamy is counterfeit. Anybody from India who has had any experience buying Lamy from Amazon? And particularly this seller?

Hi, I have not purchased from amazon india but from flipkart and it was genuine. Correct me if i am wrong but you got it for 500 INR. That's a very good price for a safari and well sounds too good. I can be wrong but can you post some pics and link to the product. If its real you have got a smoking deal.

I am sorry the price was 1500 INR (edited my comment). I am having flow issues with my Lamy with Noodler black bulletproof ink. The ink is sticking to walls of the converter so strongly that I wont move even when I shake the pen. I have already rinsed the converter with detergent.

Also how we post pictures here ? I cant see an upload link.

Rs 1500 is a decent price. I bought it for rs 1860 . And the box I got my two safaris in was a black box with lamy written in silver letters also "design made in Germany". In my limited experience with them aadhya corp appears to be a reliable seller and most of their products are "prime" fulfilled.

Lamy might be marketed in India by William pens .they do that with many of the branded pens i guess..

Thing is original lamy we get the "made in Germany" tag in box

Ok then. 1500 seems alright. If its written sold by williampenn then most likely its legit as they are the official distributor. Noodlers ink have been known for flow problems. Try some other inks

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
