Omas Gentleman ballpoint pen, made in Italy from precious resin, dating to the Fin de siècle, with a twelve-facet octagonal body, length 13.5 cm and diameter 1.2 cm, in excellent cosmetic condition but the snap mechanism is defective and not working and a refill is required.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Omas Gentleman ballpoint pen represents a perfect blend of elegance and functionality. Its iconic dodecagonal body, made of resin, gives the pen not only a refined appearance but also a secure and comfortable grip. This distinctive design, with its twelve facets, adds a touch of originality that sets it apart from more conventional pens.
The cap, the gold clip, also faceted, reflects the light in a captivating way, while the Greek key pattern adds an artistic and distinctive touch, making this pen a valuable collectible item.
The snap-opening mechanism is defective, it does not slide or work properly. I am selling it for someone who can restore it. Refill to be replaced.
Dimensions: approximately 13.5 x 1.2 cm.
The pen is in excellent aesthetic condition, as shown in the photos, which are an integral part of the description.
An insured shipment is made with a trackable package.
Any customs fees for shipments to non-EU countries are the responsibility of the buyer.
