LAMY Lx Fountain Pen - ruthenium
This LAMY Lx ("Luxe") fountain pen features a body made from ruthenium-colored double-anodized aluminum, a ruthenium-coated clip, a translucent grey triangular grip section, and a black glossy interchangeable steel nib.
There are lot of subtle details on the Lx as an enhancement over the similar AL-star model, including matching metal accents on the cap end and barrel end with a shiny diamond polish, a glossy LAMY logo on the barrel, and the laser engraving on the nib. While slightly different in appearance than the other LAMY steel nibs, they are indeed swappable as well.
This pen comes with a matching ruthenium-colored anodized aluminum pen case. It also comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away. If you'd like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter.
Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.
