    Leaking Omas Extra

    Last week I purchased an Omas Extra on eBay (ugh) and it is leaking and pooling ink where the nib and feed fit into the section. The feed does not look to me like an Omas feed and the way feed fits into the section does not look right at all. It looks to me like the wrong feed is just jammed into the section. (see attached photos) Any opinions on what might be going on? Thanks

    Vintage Omas Extra 750 pen

    Dear netters, I am a newcomer in the forum and also in the wonderful hobby of fountain pen collection, but a rather passionate one. I recently came across a second hand Omas Extra fountain pen, which fascinates and intrigues me. It has an 18K gold nib, engraved with the letters ‘750’. It is a piston filler. Its material is opaque black and the cap ring presents an ancient Greek Meander engraving. It is very lightweight (total weight: 12,2 gr) and rather small (uncapped 11,7 cm long, capped 12,7 cm long, ~7 mm wide at the thinnest part of the section, ~9 mm at the upper thickest part of the section). Please see the attached image. When I received it I noticed a very subtle tine misalignment which was easily solved. After a gentle nib smoothing with a K12000 micromesh, the pen writes like a dream. Really smooth and inspiring. I am trying to trace back any information regarding this pen’s origin/history, production year, exact materials and any other information which I as a pen aficionado would very much appreciate. Not much to be found by Googling for this particular (small) model. I would extremely appreciate any help on your behalf, which could only deepen my bonding with this wonderful writing instrument. Thank you in advance. Vasilis
  3. I had posted this thread a few days ago in a different area of FPN. Perhaps best in Regional Forum under Italian pens. Would appreciate if anyone has seen this kind of nib imprint and knows what it is. Many thanks!! ---------- I had the pleasure of seeing a very nice vintage fountain pen during a recent dinner with a friend. The pen belonged to the his late grandfather. It is an Omas Extra lever filler with marbled brown celluloid. I love looking at any vintage pens, and noticed that the nib is not the usual Omas vintage nib. It has a kind of sheep(?) imprint on the nib with "14K-585" and "OSMIUM" on it. I didn't write with it, but I tried on my thumb nail and it feels very soft and flexible, a typical wonderful vintage nib of that era. With the permission of my friend, I posted the photos of this pen in the hope that someone might know what this interesting-looking replacement nib is. Many thanks!! By the way, I had offered to restore (lever is stuck and also needs new sac for sure) and polish this pen for my friend, but he doesn't want. Nib is patinated but he doesn't want to get it polished either. He wants to leave the pen as how it was when he received it, and only uses it as a dip pen. I understand.

    Omas Model Confusion

    I've recently decided to try to track down and purchase a vintage OMAS, but I'm having trouble deciphering the early model range. Could somebody please explain the differences between the early OMAS Extra, Lucens, and Extra Lucens? I'm basically looking for whatever was the early equivalent of the faceted Paragon design. Thanks!
