So whats your opinion of the Omas Paragon/Milord? I'm looking to get one after reading some really good reviews. Whats your take?

Stylophiles had a nice review:

I have the Milord Bronze Arco and it is a superb pen. I do not like the metal section of the Paragon, and the new Arco Milord is bigger than the older Milord models.

I concur. I have new style Arco Milord, and it is one of the best writing pens I have. There are a number of horror stories about the reliability on FPN, but mine has had no problems. Another common comment you'll find if you look is that people will comment on the incredible smoothness of their nibs.

They may have Bock nibs now, but I have older style and new OMAS, and they are all good writers.


It is also probably the most beautiful pen I own.

I own 5 Omas pens and other than a few issues here and there (as many pens will have) i adore them all.The Arco Milord is my best pen.I liked it so much i bought an Arco rollerball to go with it.
You have plenty of resources here on FPN as regards Omas. Just go to search and have fun.

I can't speak for the new reincarnations, but I have 6 old style Omas (3 milords, 1 ogiva, and 2 M0MAs). I also have 2 more old style milords on deck in a shop (a colonial and a teal blue milord)

I don't like the new models, but that's me. Omas rules.

The old style Paragon are (in my eyes the BEST) writers out there and thats after a lot of pens going through my hands.
