Orange Lamy

[Squinj]

I am brand new to fountian pens and keep seeing pictures of orange Lamys everywhere. Orange is my favorite color ever and I can't seem to find them for a sale anywhere, so any idea where to get one of these? Thanks

Do you mean the Al Star?

[PaganArcher]

To my knowledge, Lamy has only made one orange pen, an Al-Star, as a limited edition a couple of years back. I may be mistaken in that as Lamy is a brand with limited acceptance in my collection.

Hello Squinj,

 

IIRC, there was an orange Safari that was released quite a while ago, but those are quite rare, I think.

 

The color you're probably referring to was called "Copper Orange" and it was used on the Al-Star model as a LE edition release a couple years back. You can probably find one on e-bay or here in The Classified's sooner or later.

 

Good luck.

Thanks guys! I'll keep an eye out!

There is an orange Lamy Al Star (or two) available on eBay. I didn't read the description so I don't know the condition of the pen. Good luck with your search.

One word of caution with buying from eBay. There are counterfeit Safaris being sold, with details duplicated including the logo and the packaging. Often the counterfeits are in the special limited edition colors no longer available from Lamy.

 

Here's some links to some articles on the topic. Be informed before you buy.

If I am not wrong Orange finish was made in Safari line too...

[gregamckinney]

If you count the early/ original 'Terracotta' finish as orange, there have been three orange Safaris that I know about.

One was the 'Flame' LE, and I can't remember what the third one was called. Here is a quick shot of the three together.

All can be found on ebay with some patience (and generally a fair amount of money.)

 

(L to R: [can't remember]; Flame; Terracotta)

Thanks, ErrantSmudge, that's really useful information.

In addition there is also an orange "pico" ballpoint. http://www.lamyshop.com/kugelschreiber-lamy-pico.html

I have the neon orange Pico. It is a novelty; interesting mechanism but uncomfortably bulky for extended writing. I have the copper-orange AlStar. Great pen, lovely color.

Lamy Studio also came in a colour called red, but in fact was a dark orange, matt metallic finish. It was stunningly beautiful and wrote like a dream. I got mine as a present several years ago and lost it last year I live in hope that I lost it at home and not somewhere outside, though I fear the latter to be true.

Yes, I hope Lamy decides to grace us with another orange Safari in the near future.
