  1. I recently purchased a white Omas 360 Mezzo fountain pen that appeared to be new old stock as there were no scratches, nib and feed in perfect condition, etc. Sadly, I found that there is a problem with properly closing the barrel after an ink cartrigde is inserted. The issue apprears similar to a thread that took place several years ago with no resolution recommended in the replies that were posted. I have tried several different international size cartridges just in case a slight size variation might make a difference. It did not. Would welcome any suggestions on how I might address this issue. Many thanks.
  2. Hi all, I have an opportunity to buy a barely used Omas 360 Mezzo for about $400 and was hoping to get views of the community before proceeding with the purchase. 1. Is $400 a fair price for this model? 2. Durability of the cartridge system - I've read numerous posts on the forum about the mechanism giving in after a certain period of usage. Any views on the longevity of this mechanism? What happens if it breaks? Between all the 360 models, I prefer the Mezzo the most and the only thing I'm not sure about is the mechanism. (also will have to do a nib regrind as I like a fine point instead of the broader nib available in this deal) Appreciate any other views about the pen as well! Especially if you are a long term user of it. Much appreciated, Sidd
  3. Hello everyone! Some of you may recall that upon hearing that OMAS had ceased to exist, I decided to try to assemble a complete collection of my all-time favorite pen: the OMAS 360. Taking into account only color, size, materials and specially-branded editions - and thus making abstraction of trim colors, type (FP vs RB) and the presence of precious stones - I was able to inventory a total of 53 different versions of the OMAS 360. Of these, I currently own 51. The ones I like to use and carry with me most of the time (Titanium, Burkina, Snakewood and Ebony), I actually have in double and triple, respectively - just in case they were to get lost, damaged or stolen. A few others I have in both HT/Ag and YG trim versions (standard Blue/Black, Smoke, Lucens and Arco Brown), as I think that the pens look very different with different trims. Finally, I also have a few doubles, just because things happened that way (MoMa Red, Vision Amber, and Mezzo FIGC). Today I thought I would share with you a few quick pictures I took this morning as I was getting the pens organised... I hope you will enjoy seeing them.

    Omas 360 Nib And Feed Angle

    Hello everyone, I adore the Omas 360 fountain pen and have two of them, the magnum and the smaller version. I have however noticed a what (for me) is a flaw with my magnum. The Nib appears to be pitched at an upwards angle relative to the line of the barrel, meaning the nib is off centre when I hold it to write, whereas with the smaller version is straighter. It's a bit of goldilocks situation for me. The central nib is more natural for my writing, while the bigger pen feels more comfortable in my hand for longer periods of writing. Has anyone else noticed this Omas 360s? Sorry I can't show any pictures, my computer doesn't want to upload for them!
  5. Hello everyone - long time lurker, (almost) first time poster here. In memory of OMAS, I thought I would take - and share - a picture of my 360 collection... missing from the photo are only a clear demonstrator and a second ebony pen. What the sharp-eyed among you may have noticed is that these, apart from the Imagination, are all rollers! I like writing with them, and since I prefer rollers to fountain pens, this has dictated the direction which the collection has taken over time. Clockwise, from the top: - Lucens (gold trim) - Wild (Ltd Ed) - Wild - Blue cellulose - Burkina - Titanium (not numbered) - Imagination - Snakewood - Snakewood - Ebony wood - Translucent Amber - Translucent Smoke (Ltd Ed, ruthenium trim) - Translucent Red (Ltd Ed) - Translucent Turquoise (Ltd Ed) - Green (Omas 75th) - White (Omas 75th) - Cranberry - Blue/black (gold trip) - Blue/black (HT trim) - MoMA A few versions are still missing, but I am hoping to still be able to add those at some point...
