Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Omas D-Day 50th Anniversary Fountain Pen, which comes with an IZODS presentation box (including outer). The pen has never been inked and is presented in overall excellent condition. Only 5300 pens were produced and this is number 3452 – the reason behind the 5300 limitation is that this was the number of ships that crossed the English Channel on 6th June 1944.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Released in 1994, the pen commemorates the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The barrel, section and cone are crafted from a deep green resin, with the cap being brass which is then finished with silver-toned rhodium. The cap band reads D-DAY 1944-1994.

 

 

 

 

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

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”.
