What model Lamy is this?

My daughter got this inexpensive Lamy when she lived in Stuttgart, Germany as an exchange student in about 2016. I cannot find any identifying marks beyond the logo. Can anyone help me identify the model? I'd love to get another.

Hello, and welcome!

 

The pen in your photo appears to be a Lamy Linea in the ‘Herringbone’ anodised aluminium finish.

One review of the pen can be found at:

If you don’t know this already, you could buy one that has any width of nib on it, because these steel Lamy nibs are inexpensive, and easy to swap off-&-on to the pen. They are available in EF, F, M, B, and 1.1mm italic, 1.5mm italic, and 1.9mm italic.

I wish you all the best with the hunt for one!

 

Oh, lastly, beware!
FPN is a very friendly place, and its inhabitants are knowledgable and helpful, but it is also nobbut a hive of inveterate enablers, who will be all-too-keen to help you to spend your money 😱

😉

 

Slàinte,

M.

There I was safe and sound, with just two Lamies, when I discovered I could get the same nib as on the $$$ Imporium, on a Studio I bought on sale....a  gold Z55, which has been disconnected...folks said it was a slight tad springier than the Z56&Z57.

 

I was very, very impressed by the Z55 gold nib on an Imporium....suggest getting it in M as B is sort of wide. It is discontinued so one should not wait too long.

Had I known that nib could be put even on a Safari....I might have had that grand nib half a decade ago.

It won't fit my 1990 Persona.

 

Don't buy the neat looking black Plastic/Teflon or what ever coated nib.....the stuff flakes off in a year or three.
