There was a matte white Safari with a black clip (and nib?) back in the '90s.

 

So not really a "new" idea.

No, its was white.

There was a grey version as well.

 

Yup. Sure enough.

 

I like the ones with the black clips though. I might have see about adding this one in.

That one does look pretty sharp (kinda reminds me of that Pelikan they called the Stormtrooper (I think it was an M200). But whether I try to score one or not is going to depend on a number of factors, such as price, what nib widths are available, and shipping costs from Japan.

If black nibs were offered in 1.1 italic, yes!

and the 1.5 too as both would be welcome additions.

Not at all.... but on the pictures it doesn't look matte. It looks more like a common Alpin from 1983...

It is even less "original", not having the older "white with a matte finish" but the newer "white with the gloss finish".

 

So a current "white with gloss finish" cap and barrel combined with a black clip and nib.

The "original" as you call it was produced in an unknown and very limited number for an asian client (got this information from customer service by Lamy). So I rather would call the glossy Alpin the "original" and to this, it seems very close. Would be interesting to see the clip plug.

All my original Safaris were given away over 20 years ago, so no photos of "clip plugs".

 

I don't care what you call what.

I was not talking about your pens. I meant that it would be interesting to see the plug of the new version to compare with the Alpin. From all the old versions I have my own examples.

      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
