Dear all,

 

Someone is already offering a new 2020 (2021) version of Terra Red and Savanna Green LAMY safari.

 

And some other colours and colour combinations as well. Have you seen the “MODY Passion?” What do you think? I am not sure, what to think about it ...

 

Kind regards,

Jan

I looked at the last link (the one with all the Google images.  I could see myself buying the pink one with the blue clip and the purple one with the pink clip.  Does that make me an ADD-kid? :P

Thanks for the picture. I like the idea of original colors Safaris. The Al-Stars look like blue-silver and champagne from some years ago. I see the Safaris and light blue al star in my collection

For about ten years, I have wanted a Lamy fountain pen in Savannah Green.  The second hand ones are too expensive for my budget and, in any case, I am reluctant to shell out big dollars for old plastic (given that ABS does unfortunately become a little brittle with age).

 

I remember a student in my class having the Terracotta Orange version in the early 1980s.  At the time, pens with proprietary cartridges seemed weird, with the majority of school kids in Germany writing with fountain pens that took standard international cartridges.  I should have bought a Safari at the time, but I didn't.

 

In 2021, I will be a buyer for a bunch of the special edition Safaris (including the BP).  I can't wait to secure myself a supply that will last a lifetime!

 Heck, the Dark Lilac (which someone on here had been poking Lamy to come out with a purple one for years before that color was released) was the price of a regular Safari.  And was drop-dead gorgeous.

Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

 

I had wanted a dark lilac so badly but didn't have the money, and I wiiiiiish they would bring it back for at least a lil bit.

I am the tarot reading, bookworm, whiskey drinking, witchcraft practicing, old fashioned writing, aunt Beasty in my family and I love it. Tarot readings for sale or trade, especially ink as I've lost all of my pen stuff from a bad burglary last year. And I need penpals! Anyone interested, please PM me!

I'm not up on my Safari history, but I got to see a gen 1 up close at a pen show. The owner was so proud particularly at the journey to get said artifact.🤑 His sheer adoration for his precious was impressive and I was all gee willikers, a genuine number uno, that's pretty cool.🧐

 

Flash forward, I find it hard to tell the difference between 1980 and rumored 41 years later possible version

 

I do hope the decimal point moves over a digit and some to renew the joy of Safari for a new generation.

A brown 2K?  I might have to finally break down and add a 2K to my collection... with my wife’s permission of course!  😂 😂

Very happy about the light blue and light pink Al-Star!

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

      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
