Lamy Safari Colours

[Dillo]

Apparently, there is a hot pink one? A teacher in my school has one, but I have yet to see it with my own eyes.

 

Yeah, there is. I think I saw it for sale somewhere recently too, but I don't remember exactly where.

This pink one?

There have been three pinks. One with a black top one with a dot top and one with a cross top

Question:

 

Did you ever recognise that there are two (at least) different red Safaris? I got an early one which is very dark red and a later one which is much brighter. Hard to catch in the picture but in reality its obviously.

That is exactly why i gave up colecting them. I was up to about 30 of them then the farther you get the more you realize theres more out there. and as i got closer to the end the ones i was missing were very expensive

have you asked the Heidelberg about that?

is it possible that the plastic discolor after some time?

not yet, but I will do soon.

nope, i don't think it's fading. Maybe it's just different plastic... but the difference is really obvious in this case.

Christof, any idea of the respective ages of these pens?

[christof]

Nope, don't know when exactly Lamy switched from metal cap screws to plastic...

 

maybe somewhere in the 90's? I bought a red one with metal screw around 1996 and a charcoal one with a plastic screw around 2000.

Ok Christof, thanks. I have to say that these Lamys are sparking some interest!

Superb

[pen2paper]

yes, please do inquire if pen stock manufacture color changed slightly, or whether this is due to light exposure while displayed.

 

finding inken here, with those multiple finds is ruffling my feathers. I had resolutely concluded my color hunt.

I received my long waited Lamy Safari White (Japan Edition) today. They seem to have a limited production re-run and mine is in EF nib. I am especially happy to get it with a very reasonable price, 3,391 yen (excluding shipping).

[Sailor Kenshin]

That. Is soooo coool! Congrats!

Has everyone excluded the limited edition neon pens?

[Sailor Kenshin]

No...I have one, why?
