The Vista is basically the demonstrator version of the Lamy Safari. A good, solid basic pen, reliable, good writer, and the demonstrator always gets some fun comments.

Lamy Dialog 3

Color: Matte Black
Material: Steel (?)
Filler: Cartridge/Converter
Date c. c 2013
Nib: F 14K
Working? Yes

This pen is different from any other instrument I own. Another gift from Amsterdam, it is sleek, modern, almost stealth. It’s kinda sexy! It’s also a retractable, along similar lines as Pilot’s Vanishing Point. It’s weighty, and the matte finish is silky smooth and cool in the hand. And it writes easily as smoothly as the best and butteriest vintage nib I have. Superb craftsmanship and engineering, and a really amazing writing experience! (Nib photo is stock)

Lamy Al-Star

Color: Purple Metallic
Material: Aluminum
Filler: Cartridge/Converter
Date c. c 2010
Nib: F Steel
Working? Yes

One of two Lamys that were brought back for me direct by my EX-husband from P.W. Akkerman in Amsterdam, and my first Al-Star/Safari type pen! Lightweight, but substantial, and a nice writer. This will be a great about town pen, and I love the color!

Lamy 99

Color: Black
Material: Resin
Filler: Piston
Date c. c 1950
Nib: M Italic 14K
Working? Yes

Also NOS, in perfect condition. A desk pen with a slightly stubbier profile than my 2 Sheaffer desk models, but with a smooth piston filler, small visulated ink windows. Has a smooth medium-ish semi-hooded nib, but with an odd oblique to it that I don’t quite have the hang of (may be a lefty problem!) Still, a lovely desk pen, that fits perfectly in a black marble base I scored at an antique shop ages ago.

NOS, in perfect condition, with sticker. Fantastic little pen, with a smooth piston filler, nifty little visulated ink windows, and a fairly smooth medium-ish semi-hooded nib.
