This AL-Star rollerball has been designed by LAMY embracing a beautiful deep purple colour. The metallic finish to both the barrel and the cap add a luxurious touch to the rollerball. The rollerball has a grey transparent plastic grip which is carved for a comfortable feel when writing. The LAMY brand name is engraved onto the end of the barrel for subtle branding purposes. The cap that fits over the nib clicks into place making it secure and can be placed on the other end of the pen when you are writing. On the side of the cap there is a silver metal clip for securing into place in 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.
