AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Omas Extra Fountain Pen - Red Resin - 18K 750 Gold Nib - Full Set 1996
Historical Overview:
Omas, Bologna excellence since 1925, represents the quintessence of Italian fountain pens. The "Extra" model, with its iconic ogival line and the Greca engraving, is a piece of writing history. The coloration in red vegetable resin makes this specimen much rarer and more sought-after than the classic black versions.
Technical Details:
Brand: Omas.
Model: Extra (Ogival Line).
Material: Fine red vegetable resin.
Nib: Solid 18K (750) gold - Fine point (F).
Filling: Integrated piston.
Documentation: Original stamped warranty (June 1996).
Accessories: Original velvet presentation box and outer cardboard box.
Condition Report (Transparency Note):
The pen is perfectly functional, with a smooth piston and intact nib.
Signs of use: There are visible pressure marks (bite marks) on the resin, located on the grip and the rotating blind cap of the piston knob. These marks are purely cosmetic and do not affect the pen’s structure or use.
The gold finishes are in excellent condition, with no plating loss.
Shipping:
Secured insured express shipping. The packaging will be handled to gallery standards to protect the box and original documents.
