Designed by LAMY as part of the AL-Star collection embracing a graphite colour. The barrel and the cap are both made from metallic coloured grey aluminium which embraces two straight edge sides with the LAMY brand name engraved on the end for subtle branding purposes. The grip of the pen is transparent grey plastic with a black plastic cone surrounding the nib of the pen. The cap is wider than the pen itself allowing it to click into place over the nib and on the side is silver metal clip perfect for securing onto things. 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.
