Please note that we are unable to offer price reductions. This is a LAMY 2000 Blackwood with a Taxus trim. It has been modified to accept G2 standard, Parker-type refills. Compared to the LAMY original refills M16 and M17, G2 standard refills are shorter. A spacer is needed to compensate for the difference in length, but this allows you to use G2 standard refills without any problems. By adjusting the length of the spacer, you can customize how much of the refill extends from the pen tip. The size has also been adjusted to allow for use as a mechanical pencil, in addition to G2 standard refills. Adjustments have been made to prevent any wobbling during writing.
