The LAMY Al-Star Fountain Pen is an everyday pen for people who like a bit of beauty in everything they write. German-based LAMY are renowned for their superb design and reliable quality. At the top of LAMY's young writing range, the AL-star is light, smooth and sophisticated. It has an indestructible brass-wire chrome-plated clip; a lightweight and strong aluminium body and cap; and a characteristic grey-plastic front grip section, molded for perfect comfort. The barrel has an ink window so you can see when you need a refill. This fountain pen has a nib of polished stainless steel, and uses a LAMY T10 giant ink cartridge or a Z24 Ink converter and bottled ink.
