Lamy Al-Star Le 2019 Bronze

[1nkulus]

Loaded Bronze today. Definitely not a bronze color but nice though.

 

Just a nice subtle orange.

 

Bronze rings hues of gold/brown, which are nowhere to be found. Fancy getting an orange 'bronze medal'.

Try it in a 'B' or '1.1i' nib, if possible. BB would be ideal.

I have a Lamy Joy with a 1.5 nib, I will fill it with Bronze. Thank you for the suggestion!

1.5i is a good choice too.

I don't see much shading in a 1.1 stub. It's not a heavy shading ink.

Here's a scan of Bronze, and a photo comparison with some other oranges. Bronze is unusual in that has a peach cast to it compared to some of the other oranges I've sued or sampled.

 

 

From upper left corner, clockwise: Monteverde Copper Noir, Monteverde Fire Opal, J Herbin Orange Indien, Monteverde Motivation Orange, Diamine Blood Orange, Sailor kin-mokusei, KWZ Grapefruit, Robert Oster Orange Rumble

You got an interesting amount of shading with it. My TWSBI 1.1 stub has absolutely zero.

Even my Z50 M nib shows shading.

I saw a bronze Lamy Al-Star in person at La Stilografica in Milan a couple of days ago, where it was helpfully placed diagonally over other color Al-Stars and Safaris, and my fear that it would be some garish orange-gold hue are completely unfounded. It’s a nice, almost muted bronze color, looks sophisticated. Will probably get one if I see a particularly good deal. I’ll add a photograph soon.

Looking at it with the others, I would go with the bronze and the grey.

I got my Bronze Al-Star and cartridges for Christmas. The pen has a F nib. The Bronze ink seems a bit pale. This is another pale orange I have gotten. Birmingham Einstein Cadmium Orange seems light to me too.

 

I like the pen color. Photography does not always show items for the best.
