Advice on Omas needed - thanks!


DustyBin

Recommended Posts

I've just acquired three used Omas pens... two 360s and one Paragon/Milord (not sure which). All three are piston fillers.

 

One of the 360s is black with gold trim and appears to be an oversize - it's 6 1/4 inches long capped. The other is red with 'silver' trim and is 6 inches long capped.

 

The Paragon(?) is black with gold trim and is 5 5/8 inches capped.

 

All need a good flush and a polish and will be in good to very good condition when I'm done.

 

I'm not an Omas person (as you can tell!) so will be putting these on the for sale page and wondered what kind of prices I should be asking.

 

Any advice very gratefully received. :thumbup:

I think it will depend on the versions on offer.

 

The 360 & the Paragon/Milord had a face lift recently, so it will a) depend on whether it's the current or previous release. This is particularly pertinent to the Paragon, as the newer model is somewhat larger than the older model.

 

The 360 came in 2 versions. a piston filler and a cartridge / CC. Is the red one a CC?

 

Any chance you can post some pics? I can then advise you a bit further.

 

regards

Bren

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
