Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this delightful Omas Paragon Arco Bronze Celluloid Preziose Vermeil Fountain Pen, which comes with its OMAS presentation box (quite a bit of wear to this). The pen has been carefully used and is presented in overall excellent condition... there is a tiny spot near where the clip meets the cap, where the gold-plating has worn off (shown in the photos).
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. Being a Preziose, it has a vermeil (gold-plating over sterling silver) cap, with a lovely red agate roller on the clip.
The pen is fitted with a 18k fine nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.
The important details are as follows...
Condition: Excellent
Box: OMAS
Nib: 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.
