Lamy Safari Colours

Not a new color but some cool Safari ephemera.

(This is one of the most complete threads about the SAFARI. t

That's why I thought this picture should not miss here.)

Being new to collecting LAMY Safari pens, I have enjoyed reading and learning from this thread.

Thank you all who have contributed.

While talking about the Safari, I just got this nice sticker in my mailbox:

 

 

 

The sticker was part of a advertising campaign. The owner of the sticker got a Lamy T-shirt for free, when the number of the back of his sticker was shown at the shop window of a pen shop...

 

 

...probably back in the 80's.

Hello Christof,

It's taken me a while to find your Lamy Safari sticker post just to check whether yours is the same as mine (apologies for the protective sleeve - hopefully the photo is reasonably clear enough). I've not seen any others but perhaps you have? I'll repost this also in the Safari thread started by Haywoody. Mine also has a number but it's on the front. Nothing on the back of mine.

Happy collecting!

Best wishes,

Chris

Nice sticker.

Maybe a raffle ticket for a kite?

I know the current White Safari has a grey (white?) o-ring and a chrome clip. Did the White ever come with a grey (white?) o-ring and black clip or did the black clip always have a black o-ring?

My Alpen, (shine not matte), is black/black. I didn't think to ask when discussing the matte Alpen in the past. Otherwise, I only see black o-rings on all but the current white.

While on the subject, the Lamy Joy set I have is black. The white set has what furniture ???

[christof]

It's called Alpin, from 1983.

And the clip, clip screw, nib and clutch ring have to be black. (Same with the matte version for Asian market).

Nice! I have the Savannah but the terracotta at a sensible price is proving elusive!

[Uffuffa]

Is that a first or a second generation Terracotta FP?

The correct LAMY terms are:

 

- Savanna Green and

- Terra Red

My Safari^^

Thanks for sharing! It's been awhile since "terra-vanna" has made an appearance here

[Jobesmirage]

When they initially came out there were Savanna Green and

Terracotta Orange. Has anyone mentioned gray (whitish one, not charcoal)?

For Al-Star there was a limited color called "Blue Star". It was sold only in Itoya in Japan.

Oh man... that blue

[thorskywalker]

Can anyone think of a Lamy Safari which has a RED spacer ring?

[Uffuffa]

Sadly not - a red o-ring would look great though! I'm thinking the charcoal with red clip; add a red o-ring and that would really make it shine

Nattae - congratulations on a full set of those stunning pens!!! Are they 1st or 2nd Gen?

 

(I was going to say "congratulations - they're beautiful" but then realised that could sound equally appropriate for a photo of someone's kids!)
