Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this wonderful vOMAS AM 1987 Briarwood Fountain Pen, which comes with an IZODS presentation box and information booklet. The pen has been very lightly used and is presented in overall fantastic condition.

OMAS require no introduction and since their sad demise in January 2016, the hunger from fans and collectors for great examples of their writing instruments has increased dramatically! The company was founded by Armando Simoni and the full name was Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni, abbreviated to OMAS.

The AM 1987 was designed Armando Simoni’s nephew, Gianluca Malaguti, to honour his father who died in 1987. The greek key design can be found on the cap and section, with the trim being gold-plated. Taking its inspiration from the Ogiva, these were available in two sizes – this is the larger version and is crafted from briar wood, which gives not only a delightful appearance but also a very tactile finish.

The pen is fitted with an 18k medium nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.

The important details are as follows…

Condition: Fantastic

Box: IZODS

Nib: Medium

With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
