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" :)

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!

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. :)

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. :)

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.

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).

So here's what happened
While you were nappin'
I just went out for a snack
I was feelin' famished
And then I vanished...
But now I'm back

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
