OMAS Notti di Bologna Orange Fountain Pen

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Omas Notti di Bologna Black Orange Fountain Pen, which comes with its OMAS presentation box (including outer), soft pouch and information booklet. The pen has been lightly used and is presented in excellent condition – when the cap isn’t attached to the pen you can turn the cap ring, it’s not loose at all, but it’s simply mentioned for a complete description.

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 Notti di Bologna is an extremely eye-catching pen, with the barrel being crafted from orange resin – the swirls on the barrel and the resin on the cap are an incredibly dark blue (they almost appear black under normal light). The chrome-plated grip section adds weight and the trim is also chrome-plated.

The pen is fitted with a 14k medium nib (featuring an engraving of the arches of Bologna) and it’s a cartridge / converter, so you have the best of both worlds when it comes to ink.

The important details are as follows…

Condition: Excellent

Box: OMAS

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”.
