What's Up At Christof's

[christof]

I finally found a vintage Pelikan nib who fits my preferences perfectly. It's a late Pelikan 400 nib. The nib size is EF and it writes on both sides. The nib has the perfect combination of wetness, softness and feedback. I'm in love...

The nib is in a shabby Pelikan 400, dull cap, brassing to clip and a scratched barrel. But this is no problem for me. It's always with me these days.

Christof,

Congratulations on finding that diamond of a nib, in the rough.

I just completed my second tour of your complete thread- wonderful photos and priceless information!

Many thanks to you.

3) As far as I know was Sieger the company and Wolfgang Fabian the Designer...

 

I think that I was wrong with this. According to LAMY, Sieger Design was not involved in the development of the SAFARI.

 

 

 

.... He was mentioned personally on the homepage of Lamy for a long time, but then suddenly no longer. I found that strange enough.

 

 

Seems that Lamy changed this. Wolfgang Fabian is now mentioned again: https://www.lamy.com/de/lamy-safari/

 

which is a good thing I think.

Considering the success of the Safari, I think it's pretty important that Lamy credits the designer!

I like the way that Lamy's slogan on the website "Write different" copies the famous Apple ad https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_different ... including the grammatical error!

[DrCodfish]

I cannot tell you how many people have noted the 'grammatical error' in the Apple add. Some people never get he message because they are too busty correcting the punctuation, the definition of irony.
