Lamy’s M21 Mini Ballpoint refill is a D1 refill that works with select Lamy pens, including the Spirit, Lamy 2000 4-color, and all of Lamy’s “multi-system” pens.
Lamy
Lamy Dialog 1 Ballpoint
The Dialog 1 was released in 2003 as the first of Lamy’s Dialog series. This Dialog is a ballpoint designed by Richard Sapper. It uses a unique triangular shape with a matte titanium finish. The Dialog 1 is a quirky pen that is more interesting than it is usable and it really hasn’t gained a cult following the way Lamy’s 2000 series has.
The retail price of the pen was about $125 for most of the pen’s life, but it can be had for around $150 today.
Lamy Z26 Fountain Pen Converter
Lamy’s Z26 is a fountain pen converter that was designed to fit all Lamy pens. It’s no longer in production, having been replaced with the Lamy Z27 converter.
Lamy Z24 Fountain Pen Converter
The Z24 is a fountain pen converter built for Lamy fountain pens. It was replaced in 2017 by the Z28, which looks almost the same and functions identically. The Z24 is fully plastic and has a black middle section where the Z28 has a metal band in the middle. The Z24 is a twist-style converter with a proprietary shape designed to only work with Lamy pens.
Lamy Z28 Fountain Pen Converter
The Z28 is a fountain pen converter built for Lamy fountain pens. It is the replacement for the older Z24, which looks almost identical. The Z28 has a metal band in the middle but is primarily made of plastic. It’s a twist-style converter with a proprietary shape designed to only work with Lamy pens.
Lamy T10 Giant Cartridge
The T10 is Lamy’s proprietary fountain pen refill. These cartridges has bean Lamy’s design for over 30 years and work with almost all Lamy pens, aside from the Lamy 2000. It has a 1.15 ml capacity and is made out of a hard plastic.
Lamy Scribble Ballpoint Pen
Lamy’s Scribble is mostly seen in its 0.7 mm mechanical pencil and 3.15 mm clutch pencil versions — as it’s designed to be a drawing and sketching tool — but it’s also sold in a very fun ballpoint version. The pen isn’t particularly cheap, but it’s highly portable, well-made, and comfortable to use in a large array of hand positions (this is more useful with the clutch pencil then the pen).
LAMY M22 Ballpoint Refill
The M22 is a small, proprietary ballpoint refill designed for Lamy pens. It is mostly seen on the Lamy Pico, a portable, expandable pen, but also works with the Lamy Scribble.
Lamy Dialog Wood Case
Lamy’s Dialog 1 and Dialog 2 pens were originally sold with a wooden case. Like the pens themselves the case was designed by Richard Sapper.
Lamy 2000 Ballpoint Pen
The Lamy 2000 (also known as the “L2K”) line is best known for its fountain pen, but there is a ballpoint as well. In fact, the L2K ballpoint has more material options than any other Lamy pen — it’s sold in ceramic, titanium, two steel models, two wood models, and of course the standard black Makrolon.
Lamy Spirit Ballpoint
The Lamy Spirit is an ultra-slim, high-design ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil first released in 1994. The pen is know for it’s slim profile and “pierced” grip design, which brings a machine age design to Lamy that is a major departure from most of their pens.
The most notable detail about the Spirit is that the pen’s major components (grip, clip, and body) were made from just a single piece of stainless steel using a automated steps. This example of innovation and efficiency (both in terms of design and materials) made the Spirit one of Lamy’s most important writings interments of the 1990s.
Lamy Dialog 3 Fountain Pen
The Lamy Dialog 3 is a high-end retractable fountain pen. It uses a twist design in order to extend and retract the nib.
Lamy Persona Rollerball
The Persona was Lamy’s flagship model from 1990 to 2004 — an incredible run by any measure! It’s the direct descendant of Lamy’s current flagship, the Imporium. The two look remarkably like one another, with the main difference being the nib used on the fountain pen. The Persona was designed by the famous Italian designer and architect Mario Bellini, who is also credited for the Imporium
Lamy Texto
The Lamy Texto, or more accurately the “LAMY texto Modell 500 ” was a “Textmarkierer” (highlighter) produced by Lamy. The pen was designed by Gerd A. Müller, who is famous for his design of the Lamy 2000 and Unic. The Unic is the more interesting of the two in this case because the Texto has a similar design aesthetic to it.
The Texto 500 is exceedingly rare these days. Very few of the older Lamy’s with a plastic body have survived. The Texto was produced in the early 1980s, some time after 1977 and sold until at least 1988.
The Texto 500 had a retail price in 1988 of 4.95 DM and used the Lamy M50 highlighter refill (sold in colors orange, yellow, and green)
The Text 500 was the winner of the 1982 IF World Design Guide Design Award for “Products”.
Lamy CP1 Rollerball
While Lamy no longer sells a CP1 rollerball in the United States, the pen has been sold for some time and in a number of different versions.
