Glossy white and beautiful if this ballpoint pen designed as part of the Safari collection by LAMY. The pen's barrel is made from white shiny plastic with a complementing matt grey plastic cone around the nib. The LAMY brand name has been carved into the pen barrel towards the top for subtle branding purposes. For a comfortable feel when jotting down ideas there is a hexagonal shaped grip around the cone of the ballpoint pen. There is a push mechanism at the top of the pen to release the nib which is shaped like a spring and made from black rubber. To secure the pen into pockets or pen cases there is a silver toned metal clip on the side of the pen at the top. There is a twist mechanism near the cone of the pen which unscrews so you can change the refill. This ballpoint pen is under two year warranty.
