Lamy Safari Colours

[Hans-Peter Ording]

Sorry, but I don't think the Lamy Flame is already "rare".

Rumour has it that there's a Safari demonstrator out there. Not the Vista, mind you, but a real demonstrator .

Was the Blue and Red for david macaulay, author of The Way Things Work? Someone was telling me that..

So, does anyone know if the AL-Star "Ocean blue" and "Blue Star" are the same? Then the updated list looks as follows:

 

Lamy AL-Star

1. AL-Star (silver)
2. Graphit (grayish)
3. Silverblue (bluish, sometimes lilac)
4. Silvergreen (greenish)
5. Ocean blue (blue)
6. "Bastian Schweinsteiger" (silver with autograph)

So what colour would this model Safari be called?

I just call it la lime or lemon-yellow green.

 

edit- Oh blast.. I just looked at the image.. and notice that I took a shot of the side that does NOT have Lamy on the end of the barrel. Doh. Btw, the nib is Medium.

Nice photo ... where did you get that pen? I heard of it already, but I don't think that it's already available. You must have some "connections"

[wege]

I have had it for over a year... 18months?? Pushing two years?

That's a great colour! I love it that this thread keeps on popping up.

 

Wege - do you remember where you got the pen?

Yep... had it handed to me by a Lamy rep.

Was the only one ever to hit the country.

Ah! So it is one that the rest of us might be able to look forward to soon?!

 

Well done you!

[wege]

Erm.. Thanks?

 

I don't know if Lamy are planning to put it into production or not.

 

[Taki]

Ooooo! I love that green Hope it will be available to general public!!!

[Hans-Peter Ording]

Someone posted recently about hearing at a German pen show of the upcoming introduction of the lime green Safari.

[wege]

Maybe they will do a summer 2008 release only, for it.

 

Taki... I like the green too. I have had people offer to buy it from me, but "No Thanks"

I just had a look at the German Lamy website and noticed that they abolished the different model names for the Safari colours. They are now all called Safari - just as in the rest of the world.

Lime green (not yet available)

 

We've been told that the Safari Lime is now available .

 

Unfortunately the gloss white 2007 special edition 2007 is now sold out. Not sure about the gloss black yet.

Gloss black is still going AFAIK.. NZ appears to have a ready supply with it.

We are getting it as standard with Stub nibs, but it is easy to change to a Normal one.

How soon Martin? Can I be number one on your waiting list?

I just received word that the white Safari has been discontinued. The Black is not only going strong, but it has been expanded to include all of the nib sizes available (it previously had been availabel OEM with a fine or medium nib only).
