Lamy rollerballs are a good alternative to fountain pens or ballpoint pens. Combine the best of the two classic categories: Our rollerball pens are as easy to operate as ballpoint pens. And they have a similarly beautiful type face to the fountain pen. Pen with innovative twist mechanism: In the writing position, the rollerball is extended and the clip retracted for greater writing comfort. When the rollerball is retracted, the clip is raised so the pen can be clipped onto a jacket pocket. With palladium finish.
