Lamy 27
The Lamy 27 is probably the most famous of the early Lamy pens and set the trend for some very nice modern pens such as the 2000.
The Lamy 27 was first introduced in 1952, and this pen dates from the early 1960s. This is a very nice example with only minor wear marks.
The nib is the hooded type (one of the first German pens to copy the Parker inspired styling of that time) and it writes with a lovely medium line. (marked on the piston knob as 31 M - not sure what the 31 stands for)
This Lamy uses a piston filling mechanism which is very reliable and efficient.
Dimensions
It is a slender, lightweight pen. Its soft tapering towards the nib.
Length uncapped: 12.5 cm
Length capped: 13.5

Next is an unusual Pilot CL 300 Vanishing Point from 1964.
The "CL" stands for "Capless" and this is from only its second year of production.
The pen is in good condition and works well (although you need to be gentle with the clicking mechanism - as you would expect for a pen that is over 50 years old).
It comes with its original 14k gold nib and squeeze filler.
The clip was also much more streamlined in these models and less intrusive than the modern VP.

Next is a Visconti Kaleido Voyager Eclipse with (what I think is a) fine nib (unmarked) 14k.
This is a cartridge converter pen (included)

Last but not least is a titanium nibbed Stipula Model T
This pen may look simple enough, but the bouncy, flex of this wet nib is a beauty! A great writer.
This is another c/c pen. Only issue is that the small Stipula leaf (the logo) underneath the clip has come off.
