Was this a pen you misplaced/lost/left when you moved out of your parents' house? Or is this a replacement for such pen? (It's very attractive looking regardless -- I know almost nothing about Omas pens other than that the brand exists/existed).

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

It is a Green Arco. And Ruth: I purchased this pen from Nibs.com quite a while ago. I did not know that it is a 'tiny' pen. But I grew to like it although I have to write with the pen cap-posted. The pen was sold used but I don't think it has aged a bit. It was in my pen case as I happened to be in Italy, and so happened too, in Bologna. So it was a nice home-coming moment for this pen, produced in 1993. The nib is bi-tone and the ink flow is just...tutto bene.

I also stopped by at A.C. Vecchietti, a FP institution in Bologna, and managed to find a NOS Omas pen case as well on this trip.

I believe the Dama model was the short version.

 

You have any more pictures of it? Omas made some stellar celluloids. :D

      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
