WTB: older Lamy 2000


RevAaron

Recommended Posts

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!

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
