Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this delightful Omas Paragon Arco Bronze Celluloid Preziose Fountain Pen, which comes with an IZODS presentation box. The pen has been carefully used and is presented in overall excellent condition... the cap attaches completely securely, we'd suggest screwing the cap on slightly before it's final position (so as shown in the photos), as it does get quite tight... we have greased the threads, so we'd expect it to loosen up with use.
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 is the Arco Bronze celluloid version and it requires no introduction… with it being arguably the most sought-after pen material on the planet, alongside Arco Verde. With its myriad of golden brown ones, it’s a material that simply has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The arco pattern lines up extremely well. According to the original owner, a large OMAS collector, this was a prototype, hence no hallmarks on the cap - we've no reason to believe it isn't sterling silver however. The trim is gold-plated.
The pen is fitted with a 18k extra fine nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.
The important details are as follows...
Condition: Excellent
Box: IZODS
Nib: Extra Fine
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.
