The LAMY brand name is carved into the side of the pen that is inlaid in silver mirror. There is a carved hexagonal shaped grip around the fountain pen nib to give a more comfortable feel when writing. The fountain pen nib is made form silver toned metal and has the LAMY brand name engraved onto it embracing a slim design shape. There is a twist mechanism near the cone of the pen which unscrews so you can change the fountain pen cartridge. This fountain pen is under two year warranty.
