Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Omas Paragon Lucens Blue Royale Celluloid Fountain Pen, which comes with an IZODS presentation box (including outer). The pen has been regularly used and there is wear to the gold-plated trim, but overall this is a good example. Only 1000 pens were produced and this is number 0783. Blue Royale celluloid does have a habit of taking on a purple tinge, this has only happened on the section.

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.

This Blue Lucens version is known for its transparent barrel – the finish is achieved by inserting celluloid elements of the same colour as the cap in to channels inside the clear barrel – it creates an extremely eye-catching effect! The cap, section and piston cone are crafted from blue royale celluloid and the trim is gold-plated.

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: Good

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”.
