Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this lovely Omas Paragon Italia 90 Green Cotton Resin Rhodium Trim Fountain Pen, which comes with its OMAS presentation box and information booklet. The pen has been lightly used and is presented in excellent 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.
As the name suggests, these pens were released to celebrate the FIFA World Cup in 1990. Many of the pens were given to players and officials, with others being made available to the OMAS collectors club. The green cotton resin is very eye-catching and was chosen to represent the grass on the pitch. The cap features a unique main band design and the barrel is engraved with ‘Italia 90’.
The pen features a piston filling mechanism, so bottled ink is your choice here. It’s fitted with a 14k medium nib (ebonite feed), which has the wording i90.
The important details are as follows…
Condition: Excellent
Box: OMAS
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”.
