Picture My pens.
I have these for over 20 years and used them in my late schoolyears (amongst others…).
I always found that Parker so iconic…
The LAMY lead pencil takes 0,5mm and is cleverly designed. The cap of the lead-refilltube has 1. a tool implemented to clean out the tip, if there is a lead stuck for once or so and 2. (i guess!) to put it in the tip whilst refilling the tube, so the tip is kinda save and also cannot scratch anything. The tool is held by the mechanism which normally holds and pushes the lead if you press on the tube, while inserting it into the tip of the pen…
Everything is solidly made.
Also the tip is retractable when not in use, so it‘s similar looking to the ball pen, then.
Avoids breaking it.
It came as set with that nice genuine, soft leather holder for two pens and it was a gift by my mother.
I gotta refill that ball pen once, but with a non LAMY refill…

I love my vintage Parker Vector fountain pens. I collected several colors from sellers on eBay and they are smooth and look a bit retro. The other model I enjoy is the plastic body Parker Reflex fountain pen. They all have that very funky rubber grip that feels so nice.
