Anyone Bought An Imporium Nib (Z56 Or Z57) À La Carte?

August 1, 2018

Im not definitely committed to this idea yet, but I am having fun contemplating it and scoping things out. Descriptions of the Imporium nib that Ive read online make it really appealing to me. I imagine putting it on my Studio or Safari LX (which arrived with a dud of a nib, anyway). The company is clearly not interested in making either the pen itself or the nib available here in the US, but there is a link in a post in this forum which leads to the site where Lamy does [will add link when I get on the desktop site], in fact, sell the Z56 (version with gold and ... looks like ... maybe, rhodium? Silver?) and the Z57 (the deadly handsome gold and black version) for 95,00. Interestingly, these are definitely not available for purchase through Lamys central corporate website. Anyway, its one of those irrational ideas that occur to you when youre way too into fountain pens and all their accoutrements...maybe totally stupid but I just wondered if anybody had thoughts or advice to share!

The none all-black/gold-black gold nib you can get easily in the UK. It's the same nib just different colour. Also you can get a number of special edition and higher end Studios, such as the Palladium, with the gold nib already on - same with the Scala and Accent. I'm sure I've seen black/gold gold nibs for sale before, but maybe it was my imagination.

I bought several from the Lamy USA website recent closure. They are quite nice. I swapped some into my Dialog 3 and Studio pens.

Sure. Im fact, Appleboom gives you the option of ordering a Safari with a gold nib. I ordered a black safari a while back with a gold nib, and they equipped it with the black/gold bicolor 14k nib.
