LAMY presents a revolutionary fountain without a cap. With a fascinating twist mechanism the nib slides elegantly out of the interior of the barrel, while the clip retracts onto the shell. The twist-action fountain pen is then ready to write. When the fountain pen is twisted closed a ball valve automatically moves in front of the opening and protects the retracted nib from drying out and getting dirty. This elegant pen features a glossy, piano black lacquer finish and includes a nice gift box, one blue ink cartridge, one Z 26 converter, and a tool for opening up the ball valve of the pen for cleaning.
