Not a new color but some cool Safari ephemera.

(This is one of the most complete threads about the SAFARI. t

That's why I thought this picture should not miss here.)

Being new to collecting LAMY Safari pens, I have enjoyed reading and learning from this thread.

Thank you all who have contributed.

While talking about the Safari, I just got this nice sticker in my mailbox:

 

18950687355_54c526c567_k.jpg

The sticker was part of a advertising campaign. The owner of the sticker got a Lamy T-shirt for free, when the number of the back of his sticker was shown at the shop window of a pen shop...

...probably back in the 80's.

Hello Christof,

It's taken me a while to find your Lamy Safari sticker post just to check whether yours is the same as mine (apologies for the protective sleeve - hopefully the photo is reasonably clear enough). I've not seen any others but perhaps you have? I'll repost this also in the Safari thread started by Haywoody. Mine also has a number but it's on the front. Nothing on the back of mine.

Happy collecting!

Best wishes,

Chris

I know the current White Safari has a grey (white?) o-ring and a chrome clip. Did the White ever come with a grey (white?) o-ring and black clip or did the black clip always have a black o-ring?

My Alpen, (shine not matte), is black/black. I didn't think to ask when discussing the matte Alpen in the past. Otherwise, I only see black o-rings on all but the current white.

While on the subject, the Lamy Joy set I have is black. The white set has what furniture ???

When they initially came out there were Savanna Green and

Terracotta Orange. Has anyone mentioned gray (whitish one, not charcoal)?

For Al-Star there was a limited color called "Blue Star". It was sold only in Itoya in Japan.

Sadly not - a red o-ring would look great though! I'm thinking the charcoal with red clip; add a red o-ring and that would really make it shine :)

Nattae - congratulations on a full set of those stunning pens!!! Are they 1st or 2nd Gen?

 

(I was going to say "congratulations - they're beautiful" but then realised that could sound equally appropriate for a photo of someone's kids!)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
