Buying Lamy Safari From Amazon India

[Solarflare]

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.

​

​Sometimes.

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

Put up pics of the nib and I can tell you if it's counterfeit
