Glossy white and beautiful if this rollerball 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 rollerball pen. The rollerball has a cap which fits over the nib but also goes on the end of the pen when you are writing, this is made form the same white plastic with a metal clip on the side for securing into pen cases. 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.
