Have you checked the Reviews section first? There are tons of OMAS reviews.

It is possible that all the reviews so far are for modern Omas pens. The model in the FS link is from (approximately) the 1950's, I think. I can't provide a comprehensive review, but have had two Omas pens of this vintage.
- The worksmanship is top-notch
- The nibs are generally more flexible than modern Omas pens.
- The pens tend to be slim by modern standards.
- There is something very classic/handsome about the relatively plain, "un-bling" look of these older black Omas pens. Not showy at all, just a solid writing experience.

Best regards, greg
