The demonstrator exists in this generation too but it went away when the Vista was introduced. The original white pen disappeared, a textured grey was introduced and followed by many LE colors. All done without really altering the appearance or quality of the pen - not bad. Total number of parts went from 14 down to 11 and they eliminated two costly machined parts. The price of these pens has changed very little in nearly 30 years and this redesign allowed Lamy to lower the manufacturing cost. I believe this redesign was done as a cost-saving measure. The cap asembly was redesigned to snap together, eliminating the machined top screw and cap nut. The cap and cap ring were combined into one part. The barrel was changed from one part to two. The Lamy logo and nib size were added to the nib via laser-etching. The clip, nib and feed remained the same but all other parts were redesigned. This change came in the mid to late 90's and was a big one. Around the mid-90's they were sold in some markets but I don't know if they ever appeared as a regular catalog item. The demonstrator might be considered the first "LE" Safari. Colors were basically the same as the previous generation but the textured white disappeared and the first demonstrator was added. There were two changes on this pen: the barrel imprint was changed to "Germany," thanks to reunification, and extra slots were added to the section to accept the snaps on the plastic piston converter. The Terracotta and Savannah were discontinued. I have heard rumors of a smooth charcoal but never actually seen one. The charcoal was still textured and the white was made in both textured and smooth. Most of these colors were only offered with a smooth texture. Other colors were added, including white, red, yellow and blue. The inner cap was redesigned (the early material deteriorated quite easily) and the cap nut was changed to a round shape.
Germany" imprint was added to the bottom of the barrel. The old-style converters were probably included with the pen in some markets and sold separately in others. The pen was designed for cartridges or the old-style metal squeeze bar converter so there are only two wide slots at the threaded end of the section. You can see the flats on it if you shine a light into the cap. Another minor detail that is different from future generations is the cap nut is hexagonal. The easiest way to identify the pen is by the lack of imprint in the bottom of the barrel. Launched in 1980 these were available in textured finish with 3 color options - Terracotta orange, Savannah green and Charcoal black. 2.11 2010 30 Years Lamy Safari (Japan only)ĭifferent Generations of the Lamy Safari First generation.2.10 ?
