Are the new Lamy 200 nibs, post 2004, different?
Hi Everyone,
I bought my first fountain pen, a Lamy 2000, maybe 8-9 years ago. It was a medium nib and had a good uniform line width no matter how I wrote with it... up-down-strokes and left-right-stroke.
The nib was damaged and repaired by Lamy. Now the left-right-stroke is thinner than the up-down-stroke.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Dave

That is typical of a stub, cursive italic or italic nib. See the nib grinding thread in the repair forum for further info.

You could always send it off to a nibmeister to get ground the way you like. Show them your old sample and have them match it.

I've decided to night to retire the 2000. It was a good pen. Now I'll use my Lamy Brilliant Accent pen that I have grew fonder of over the 2000.
Ivan,
Thanks for the input.
