I have to say these pens look better in your photos than in Lamy's own promotional images!
Maybe christof can work out a deal with Lamy. "Will provide good photos for free Safaris".

I recently had the pleasure to repair this beautiful Waterman's 552 pansy panel:
one hundred years old and still writes like it was its first day!

I just fixed this old ORTHOS Ideal with a new ink sac and some nib adjustment:
This must be one of the very first pens produced by C. Josef Lamy when he founded his own company in 1930 in Heidelberg. Lamys pens were highly influenced by American pen design at that time and it is known, that he worked for Parker in the 1920's.
Later in the 1930's, Lamy produced also pens under the brand "Artus".
