This sophisticated looking rollerball has been created by LAMY as part of the AL-Star collection. The barrel is made from matt black aluminium with the LAMY brand name engraved into it for subtle branding purposes. The pen has a matching cap which clicks over the nib preventing it from drying out, it also clicks on the end of the pen when you are writing. The pen has a black plastic cone surrounding the nib and a grey transparent grip which is carved for comfort purposes. On the side of the cap there is a silver metal clip to secure into a pen case. There is a twist mechanism near the cone of the pen which unscrews so you can change the refill. This rollerball pen is under two year warranty.
