The Lamy 27

[MissThundercat]

wow, that is a gorgeous pen! I love demonstrators too. Must be a dream to write with

Today I found a Lamy 27b with F nib in an eydropper form at a thrift store. I think it's one of the very early models from 1952/53. Had a lot of cleaning to do with this one, a LOT of dried ink and gunk removed, but now it looks beautiful and writes really well. It's really too bad that Lamy is being so hush-hush about their early models. Before I found this pen, I also never knew these were out there. IMHO the early models are just as pretty, maybe even more so then their recent models.

This is very interesting and well done

Thank you for this great review. I am interested in 27e I saw on ebay and this thread is very helpful!

Lamy 27 (and 99) are great pens with really nice nibs. I actually swapped an awesome OF one from a broken 99 to my vintage Lamy 2000. That yellow gold nib in the otherwise austere 2000 makes for a really sweet looking and writing combo.
