Classic Pens LM1 Flame Red Lambrou Fountain Pen

In November, 2007 Classic Pens announced their newest Limited Edition, the LM1 Flame Red, based on the new full-size Classic Pens Legend 766 fountain pen. The new LM designation, following CP, LS and others, comes from the surname initials of the president, Andreas Lambrou, and vice president, Armen J. Malikian, of Classic Pens, Inc. The company designed the Legend line giving it a traditional and balanced look and feel in the hand, while also seeking the very best materials and manufacturing sources available. The Legend will also serve as the base pen for many exciting Maki-E designs from Classic Pens.

The Legend 766 is a cartridge / converter pen fitted with a large number 6 full size two-tone 18 karat gold nib centered with the new Classic logo.

The striking flame red acrilyc is a custom fabricated diffusion bonded material made especially for Classic Pens by Carville in the UK, one of the world's oldest plastics machining companies, established by Frederick Carville in 1928. The company is a leader in diffusion bonding technology, manufacturing high tech parts used in water quality analysis, industrial applications, pharmaceuticals, and medical applications. Diffusion bonded acrylic is much more durable, stable, and costly than traditional acrylic materials, giving the LM1 Flame Red a tough and high-tech base, complimented by traditional gold plated appointments.

Attention was given to every aspect of the pen design, from the overall shape, the high quality materials, to details such as the new "cravat" shaped clip, designed by Classic Pens. The clip tip, with two diamond facets joined in the center, forms the new Classic logo, which symbolizes the fusion of Eastern and Western culture, as seen with Classic Pen's work with Maki-E designs. The design process included creating a clean, straightforward, and elegant nib design that flows from the thought process of the logo design. The philosophy is that a simple, strong design is best. Other elements, such as the quick turn, single start thread on the cap and barrel, to the elegant box design all bring the LM1 together as a top quality pen.
