Lamy 27 is a really nice pen
Before Lamy 2000 took the stage in the spotlight, Lamy 27 was.
I got this one from a collection that I acquired last year. Metal cap, probably rolled gold and the engraving on the barrel just say Lamy 27, no letters following the number.
When I first handle it, it feels light, but as I use it to do the sketch (and some writing prior to that), the pen feels more "sure" as the time goes.
It's one of those pens that is difficult to describe, but once in a while without even realizing it, I stopped writing and looked at the pen thinking "Cool!".
I love piston fillers, especially German ones, and this Lamy is no exception. It is supposed to have a lot of ink capacity, and the ink window is clearly visible, so I can control how much ink I want to fill the pen with.
How's the nib?
The nib is partially hooded, not as much as Parker 45 though, so you still can see the breathing hole. Unlike my other German piston fillers from this era, this one writes very very fine. I would classify it as EF.
The sketch is of an adobe style house.
