Well I've finally finished finding all the Lamy Safaris that have been made and they're pictured here.

Skip, what about the Lime Safari with the black clip shown on page 3 of this thread (post #65)? Are you not going to try to get that one, too? I see you have the blue with both clip colors.

Best, Ann

Hi Ann,

To the best of my knowledge, the green with black clip is a prototype sent around by lamy to test the reaction, never a model that was sold.

(if anyone has one to sell, pm me

)

As for the blue, the one with the silver clip is the al-star, not a plastic safari.

Nice color for this one!

Yes, I have all the nib widths EF, F, M B, 1.1, 1.5, 1.9, and a custom cursive italic. The nibs are very easily swapped around, so I just make sure that I get something new with either an EF, F, or M, to have extra nibs on hand.

Hey Skip, that's so cool. I notice you even have the original cardboard spacer ring on one of them. Do you get them in different nib widths/styles too?

As otherwise stated, that Lime-black-clipped pen seems to be a prototype. Actually, it'd be easy to make up, just jerk a black clip off another color and slap it onto a new, chrome-clipped Lime pen. IMO, it's nothing special. Now if there was one with green clip, then that'd be something interesting.

Yes, I have two blue plastic pens, one with the standard black clip and one with the custom yellow clip from Sweden. The pen with the chrome clip is an Al-star.

In my opinion, the only way to get the difficults one is to always be on the lookout. Some go out for pennies because people don't know the market price. You just have to be there to grab it when it comes by!

I love the White one.... does anyone know where I can get one??? Preferably a bold, I will ask the Lamy rep that comes to my store if she knows where also??? I own a blaze with red clip in bold and a vista in medium (which I accidentally washed in the laundry)

Gotta ask... did it survive the laundering?
