The image of the LAMY brand is closely associated with the success story behind the LAMY 2000. Developed in 1966, this piston fountain pen established the era of unique Lamy design and is still today the classic among design writing instruments.  The LAMY 2000 defined new standards in writing instrument design and processing technology with a sophisticated combination of materials – polished matt stainless steel and Makrolon. The LAMY 2000 fountain pen features a hooded 14 ct. gold nib with a platinum coating.
