Those are just so lovely. Why did the Italians go the Way of Bling, when they're capable of making such simple, modernist classics as the Omas Tokyo and the original Aurora 88?
Such lovely orange and green too - what do you call that green? Not bright enough for lime or pistachio and not quite dark enough for olive.
How long did it take you to get the set?
The colors are called:
Persimmon Orange
Lychee Green
Viridian Green
Venetian Blue
Classic Black

During more that ten years I was tempted to buy the one and other pen, but I only bought them now, when I got the unique oportunity to buy them all at the same time.

Lamy, Germany

Here is my favorite mini collection, my textured Lamy Safaris.

Christof, I am starting my Lamy 2000 homework! I think I have a few more around here somewhere...
That‘s great Brandon. Do you have an example of the first Generation?
edit: ah I see now, it‘s the „Dieter Zwicker“!
I always did want to replace my Lamy 2000 that disappeared on a university campus.
Wow these Onoto are great thank you
