Cool, and yes I know, Omas is one of the worst documented brands in terms of what they have made through the years.
In addition, here's a couple more I think you'll want:

I think there's some more, but I don't know them all by heart.
Maybe the others can chime in here!

Happy hunting B)

I don't collect resin ones unless they are limited edition or very special.

And I only collect the old style paragons.

Fabulous collection!!! I hope the few missing pens find their way into your collection without too much trouble or expense. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful collection, Freakman. How long did it take you to find all of those?

 

I love Omas. Here's my collection, with celluloids at the top and resins at the bottom. Not quite as complete as your beauties!

You're also missing the Saft Green Paragon as well as the rare blue

Italia `90. I also wouldn't be turning up my nose at the orange Omas

Writing Society pen shown as well as the LE Ercolessi.

The orange look to be a limites edition.

It is--it's only given to those that join the Omas Writing Society and

(if I'm not mistaken) those that reside in Italy. They're also numbered

like an LE.

The Saft green is being repaired by OMAS and haven't returned yet.

The resin ones got too many variations so I only bought the white one and the solid gold band/clip one

Have you ever seen a Pearl Grey paragon before 2000? I only know there're ones in the 80th Anniversary LE but couldn't find any other Pearl Grey except the Cinema.

Almost all of my celluloid Paragons are from the 1990's. The Pearl Gray, shown here, is from 1992 as you can see in the third picture.

I only got a pearl grey with marble pattern in 1991. Still looking for "Pearl" Pearl Grays

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
