Osmia - Supra Progress 194 F - 自來水筆

Vintage Osmia Supra Progress 194 F fountain pen, Germany, circa 1935–1939.

An attractive and relatively uncommon pre-war Osmia fountain pen in black and gold marbled celluloid, fitted with an original 14-carat gold nib.

The pen belongs to Osmia’s Progress series. Unlike conventional piston fillers, the Progress models use Osmia’s unusual Vacuumpumpenfüllung: a pump/diaphragm filling system introduced during the 1930s and based on a principle similar to the Parker Vacumatic system. The Supra Progress 194 is specifically documented with this type of filling mechanism.

The fountain pen has been tested and is in working condition and writes properly.

The celluloid remains visually attractive with a pronounced marbled pattern. The pen shows age-related signs of use including surface marks, patina and wear to the metal trim, consistent with its age.

The photographs provide a detailed representation of the present condition and form an integral part of the description.

A particularly interesting Osmia for collectors because of its unusual Progress filling mechanism, marbled celluloid body and 14K gold nib.
