LAMY's Safari - all colors
LAMY Safari – all Colors in chronological order
On German penexchange.de and French stylo-plume.org I started years ago a thread to collect all colors of LAMY’s Safari and to arrange them chronologically. Together with my Friend Chris Wallace from GB, we filled all the informations in a table and shared this on FPN. Now, since I decided to focus on other forums than FPN, I wanted to make these informations available on FPGeeks.

Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
This is great! Thanks, Christof.
Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
A fantastic resource post, thank you. I need to get my Safari’s out. I have a couple of Japan only varieties in white with red clip. Out of interest is the database limited to colours? For example, I know that there is a Safari with the Ampelman symbol on it.

Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
Nice collection. I only have eight of these. I like all the green ones best.
Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
I bought a black Safari and it'r really good. I love it.
Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
I was able to replace some of the borrowed picturs with own ones:

I am on the verge of having all the colors together. Only a very few are missing...

Done.
and since I was able to complete my collection lately, I made another overview of all the existing colors, as a reference and just for fun:

Well done, I'd say! I appreciate seeing all of these, together and identified. It's unfortunate that, like the other thread honoring the Parker 45, these are pens that aren't comfortable for me to write with, so I have simply kept one or two and not gone down the road of collecting them. Iconic pens that have been useful for millions of hands and that is all that counts.
Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
I posted this in another thread, but here is far more appropriate!
Very nice pens Christof! Would you mind explaining the characteristics that identify the 2002 Vista. I have a far from complete yet voluminous collection of Safaris and don’t have a Vista model yet.
Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
Aren’t new colors released annually, such that no collection will ever be complete?

Thank you.

You're right of course.
But for the moment, the collection is complete.

Thank you for your reply. Apologies for the further query but are there any other distinguishing features that mark this pen as a 2002 pen, like the dot or cross on other yearly editions? I am assuming that I couldn’t just buy a Vista tomorrow and call the collection complete as the pen would not manufactured in the correct year, or have I mis-understood?
Re: LAMY's Safari - all colors
the vista was just introduced in 2002, that‘s all.
