Lamy 2000 Black Amber Rust Spots Or Tarnish Dots


jsaafrt

Recommended Posts

Hi!

May I ask if anyone has encountered rust spots on their LAMY 2000 Black Amber before?

I have just kept it in the box or on my desk for some time and the next time I looked carefully I saw spots!

I have tried to wipe it off with a clean cloth but the spots do not go away. Some of the smaller ones go away if i try to scratch it off with my fingernail.

Does anyone recommend any fixes to this?

 

Thank you!

Where are you seeing the spots? The metal fingers on the inner cap are some sort of copper or bronze alloy. I have noticed this metal can rub off onto the section.

Hi Jezza

 

The dots are spread out throughout body of the pen and even the cap. Actually the covered part where cap covers the pen dont have dots. Must be exposure to moisture or humidity?

 

I cant seem to upload pics i will do so when i figure it out. (fpn doesnt seem to allow links to google photos)

 

Did you encounter this as well?

Hi

 

I found this thread when searching about the exact same thing happening to my pen. Did you ever get to the bottom of it or find a solution?

 

Thanks.

I found the solution to this. It's called, Maas Metal Polishing Crème. It removed the tarnish and rusty looking spots from my pen. It looks safe to use because my pen looks brand new.

Interesting. I've noticed that ink tends to stain the pen, and now this makes me think the coating is quite thin and porous, allowing liquids such as humidity and ink to interact with the metal. It's supposed to be stainless steel, but low quality stainless steel can still develop rust spots.

 

I'd like to see pictures!

      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
