    Default Lamy Collection

    My Lamy Collection:
    None of the fancy ones just variations on a basic theme.
    Initially I just wanted the Coffee Al-Star ! Then the SilverGreen looked too good not to have and the blaah ....blaah .... blaah .....blaah.
    Funny the same thing happened with the ink.

    Al-Stars
    Coffee F
    Lilac (Silver Blue) EF
    Silver Green EF
    Raspberry M
    Shiraz B
    Ruby Red 1.5 italic
    Ocean Blue 1.1 italic
    Graphite 1.1 italic
    Aluminium (F black)
    Pearl A
    Black A
    BlueGreen (1,1 italic)
    Orange Copper (1.1 italic)



    Safari:
    Vista (clear) M (my first Lamy from a Border's closingdown sale)

    Yellow F
    Neon Yellow EF
    Orange EF
    Pink B
    Aquamarine F
    Charcoal (M black)
    Apple Green LH
    Blue LH---lost
    Red LH
    White 1.1 italic
    Black 1.1 italic
    Neon Coral A
    Dark Lilac (F)
    Joy:
    Shiny Black with red clip and end barrel accent 1.9 italic
    Shiny White with grey accents 1.5 italic

    Nexx/Nexx M
    Orange F
    Citron M


    Logo
    Brushed Steel (F)
    Nut Brown (1.1)

    Linea
    Herringbone F (F)

    Pur
    Guilloche (F) much wider spacing between the grooves than the CP1.

    CP1
    Matt Black (LH black)
    Platinum (B 14K) Guilloche. The shiny platinum really shows up any finger prints and needs constant polishing as the fingerprint oils create a tarnished effect in a short time.

    Accent
    Briarwood (F 14K)

    Scala
    Ti 1.1 italic

    Studio
    Matt Blue (M)
    Pearl White (EF 14K)
    Platinum Grey (M 14K)
    Royal Red (A)
    Studio Violet (M)
    Wild Rubin Red (A)

    Plus a big pile of blue and black cartridges. I've only used three blue ones so far as all the pens have converters except the Pink & Neon Safari.

    Possibly future additions:
    Studio Imperial Blue
    Studio Brushed Steel
    2000

    Well, I won't go so far as to say this thread is worthless without pics, but I will raise my hand and plead with Bogon07 for at least one. Please? =)

    Yay!

    Those barrels are pretty sweet. I would like a custom made round section for my Safari. Does anyone do that?

    Howdy tytoalba! It writes well (as I would expect even the cheapest Lamy to do ) and it feels comfy in the hand. It's not a heavy pen but it does not post. The 'chunky' nature of the barrel does not make it awkward to hold, though (as I usually post my pens).

    I should have asked if it's tiny in your hand? didn't even think about not posting.
    Looks very cute in the pen case with your name on it : )

    Mrs Bogon picked up the Citron Nexx from the PO for me yesterday so now I will be able to try and take some photos of the whole lot this weekend (so KI won't be bored with the same old photos again).

    Luckily I remembered to clean out the blue test ink before filling it with Dragon's Napalm, my eyes are still smarting from the intensity of that ink.

    Hi Maja, Thanks for placating Dan & Eric with your photo. That is a very nice collection you've assembled. Those marbly red custom barrels look rather attractive.
    I've got to keep away from the Studios and Dialogues.
    How does the ABC feel compared to the Nexx ?

    Yes it is a Capybara. He/she is my virtual pet.

    Tytoalba & Etoyoc (nice photo too), you've also a pretty handsome selections of Lamys too.

    I find those pale blue Safaris very appealing. I wonder if Lamy will release another blue as a LE in the future ?
