Other than Al-Star, Safari and Vista, do those nibs fit any other Lamy pens?

You can use them in the Studio also.

Lamy Logo and the Accent.

The Accent seems a bit of an oddball. I think I might try the Studio.

Thanks Bogon07! Any idea where I could find all of these nibs in one place?

Ooh, I've never seen the nibs at Lamy USA. Do you have a link?

I've always gotten them from retailers like Goulet or isellpens. I think The Writing Desk has some of the more unusual nibs, and maybe Cultpens does, too. Does anyone know where to get the gold limited edition Studio nib? I have a friend who wants to try it without buying the Studio.

The url is www.lamyusa.com You kind of have to hunt for the parts by pen model

I fond most all of them on eBay. Except for the obliques. I have only seen the gold nib on the Lamy site.

I think it would be funny to see a Safari with a gold nib!

Hello,

in Germany you cant buy those gold nibs from stores/resellers, you have to send the pen directly to the Lamy Service and they will assemble those gold nibs on your pen.

Greetings

You can buy the Studio and one or two others in the range, fitted with the 14k nib - but the price immediately goes up to something comparable with the Lamy 2000. I agree with Jorg that I have never seen the gold nibs sold separately apart from the Lamy USA site where they are $85 each. .

At Lamy USA when you buy the nib you are also buying the section. At Goulet you are getting the nib alone. I had to do it once on my Al Star as the threads on the section had broken in the barrel. (was able to unscrew them and just install- pretty slick) And the steel nibs are easy squeezy to install.

These nibs also fit the Lamy Nexx and Nexx M.

That explains the higher cost when purchasing from Lamy.

The Italic nibs are rather strubs

Lamy call them Italic and market them mainly in the Joy Calligraphy sets.
To me they seem less forgiving than a stub nib. One day maybe I will round the corners a bit on one of them.

Cultpens.com also does all the nibs in steel and black. Shipping my be cheaper for some.

Do these nibs also fit the older 26P ?

And the next question is how do I change the nib on a 26P?
Or should I ask that in the repair section?

thanks

Hi there ac12. Welcome to the nicest place for fountain pen geekery.

No, they won't fit your 26P.

No, this is the right sub forum. Peeps will see your post from "What's New" so don't worry. Unless the pen needs repair, does it?

Am I the only one that thinks it is ridiculous that Lamy doesn't sell a set of all the nibs together? I have seen a small Lamy branded nib box on some reviews but can't find it anywhere and I don't know what comes in it.

The 26P uses the same nib design as the Lamy 2000 and the earlier hooded nib pens like the Ratio, Special, 25P, 66P, 67P, 68, 69, and flat-ended 27 and 99 models--among others. All nibs are interchangeable within these models. The 27 and 99 pens with rounded ends use a different nib style.
