Hi,

 

I am far from being a pen specialist, but I am surprised to see such a nib on an OMAS: the design seems very poor. Could it be a counterfeit OMAS Royal Blue Celluloid ?

 

Thanks,

 

Pierre.

No, that's the real thing.

Hi,

 

The rhodination was not done cleanly, but I'm sure it's the real thing. If you send it to my shop, I can fix it for you if you wish.

 

I've noticed that some Omas pens have had the rhodination done sloppily. The problem seems to affect very few pens though.

Thanks Andy and Dillo,

 

@ Dillo: Thanks for the proposal, but it is not one of my pens: I just saw an auction on eBay and was wondering whether the poor rhodination of the nib was a sign of a conterfeit OMAS or not.

If you see any of their catalogs you it appears that the mask is put on by hand so with that you'll get varaition but how except by redoing the rhodium coating could it be fixed :unsure:

Thank you

correct and original nib.

The Lucens and Extra Lucens models are later model.

The Royal blue should be aroung 1992/1993: do you see the year around the grip section?

Here are some pics of mine. Bought in 1993. Never used........ :mellow:

 

Thanks for the pics MrK.

 

When I see how nice the nib on your pics is, I can't believe the one I saw on eBay comes from a genuine OMAS pen: look how poor the plating is compared to the one of MrK's pen nib. Such a poor plating is known to be a sign of fake ST Dupont: It could also be the sign the OMAS seen on eBay comes directly from China.

      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
