Ahoy! Might be a bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for an older Lamy 2000. I'm not sure of when aspects of this model changed, but the pen I want has these attributes:

 

- Broad nib preferred; also double broad, OB, or OBB

- L logo on turning nob

- Imprint of point size on the section or knob

 

If you have one of these, please PM me! I'd be interested in paying with straight up monies, or making a trade; I mostly have other vintage German pens.

 

Thanks!

You are a cruel man, Alfredo! I've been looking one passively for a while. I thought I scored one on eBay, but it has turned out to have a crack around the entire section- gotta go back. Let me know if you change your mind! :D

Aaron,

 

Make sure the vintage 2000 also has the embedded ball bearing under the end of the clip, not the solid stainless machined end like the current 2000 clips have.

My latest Lamy 2K ebay purchase is exactly the model you are describing.

Did not even know that it is such an old pen until I saw your post.

 

But I cannot sell it to you - it has a medium nib! :roflmho:

 

Took me at least three days of cleaning and a new O-ring from Lamy but now the pen writes like new :D

From what I understand, the nib assembly is virtually indistinguishable across the years. You can try getting an older L2K body and then swap the nib out. Of course, this is assuming you're OK with the section/barrel nib size imprint not matching the installed nib. ;)

MYU- I was thinking of doing that. I got such a pen, a broad, on eBay recently. It wasn't quite as described, and there was a crack around the entire pen at the ink window- the price I paid was definitely more than the nib by itself was worth and the seller wouldn't swing any sort of deal so I had to send the whole thing back.

 

I was tempted, believe me!

      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
