Lamy Safari Colours

[Pfhorrest]

I love collecting the Lamy Safaris! They are relatively cheap and they are USEFUL! I just got the new PINK one and I'm in LOVE!

I hope Lamy continues to issue new colors at least one per year!

 

I only started collecting them over a year or two ago, so I missing the very early ones:

 

- savannah green

- terracotta

- white with black clip

- swedish LE (blue with yellow clip?)

 

Sigh. if I could only get one out of these four, I reeeeeeeeally want the savannah green the most... Its all a dream though...

 

There was talk on here a while back of organizing a FPN special edition Lamy Safari. I'm kinda surprised it never went through as someone said you only needed to order 200 for a production run ... too bad.

 

 

 

$4000 is a lot of money, FPN edition or no FPN edition.

I would tend to agree.

 

Diplomat, in addition to the Itoya and Bastian S... LE Al-Stars, it looks like you're just lacking the Terra Cotta Safari.

I can't find a link to the Bastian Schweinsteiger edition. It is a standard color (aluminum?) AL-Star with the athlete's signature on the cap.

 

There's a better pic out there somewhere of the Itoya "Blue Star," but I can't find it. Someone posted a small pic of it earlier in this thread.

I saw the "Blue Star" at Itoya and couldn't see any difference between it and the standard ocean blue Al-Star, so I passed. I seem to recall that it was originally an Itoya exclusive which was later added to the standard Al-Star lineup.

 

The Bastian Schweinsteiger edition is indeed just a standard silver with a signiture printed on the cap. That sucker was elusive but I finally found one sitting in a drawer at a pen shop in Vienna.

 

I will see if I can post a picture of the my lineup as soon as my Pink arrives.

Add to that the original demo (i.e. not safari)

Oh, and I'll add, in my opinion, a "collection" of safari needs to have everything that was widely spread. Anything else is gravy... the reason is that there are sooo many version what were custom made...

 

I have a textured white microsoft edition

 

So the one with the signature... my 2 cents

Is there any way to obtain the Savanna Green Safari?

 

I would really like one of those.

Interesting. I would hate to have spent big $ to get a "Blue Star" and then later find them available for $35.

Is shiny black a limited edition? It's still available at many retailers

Yes, that was released as the LE from the 2007 along the white. I think that the black gloss then was "promoted" to the regular production for some reasons...
