Found an unassuming grey on grey Lamy Tipo rollerball sitting in a dusty shelf of an old shop recently. It caught my eye because I hadn’t seen a monotone edition like this before… both the grip and clip, which are usually black, are in a matching shade of grey.

Here, I’ve put it together with my 2 other grey Lamy: a newish Xevo ballpoint and an original Noto modified with a Schmidt DSM 2007. So a BP, MP and RB combo!

Best of all, the dried out M66 can be swapped with any modern gel refill like the uniball Zento, One, Energel, etc.

Does anyone have any idea when this all-grey Tipo was released? :folded_hands:t2:

You could pair it with… a FIAT Tipo car model — yes, we named a car “Tipo”, which in Italian means “just a guy”, but also “a type of ”.

Pretty successful car, by the way. :slight_smile:

Truthfully, the Lamy looks faster than the car! :joy:

You can’t imagine how right you are. :smiley:

(Well, until you see the custom versions of the Tipo car made by many crazy guys who maybe lived close to where Ferrari cars are made, and used to put any sorts of outlandishly fast engines under the hoods of these Tipo, just to toss them on drag strips to test the farthest limits of human and car endurance/performance. :sunglasses:)
