Poirot's Omas

[Perazzi-man]

I was watching "Poirot" on PBS the other day and saw him writing w/ a fountain pen. I have ID'ed it as an OMAS , but cannot find the model....it looks like a Milord ???

 

Any ideas.

It is a Wahl Doric. They bought two from a London dealer, keeping one as a spare.

tryphon: Thanks....looked like an OMAS and had similar cross-hatch inlays. I found a Wahl and ordered it.

 

Again , many thanks.

Perrazi-man: are you a fan of Perazzi shotguns? And do you use them for competetive shooting?

[Perazzi-man]

Yes. I have 4 and use them for registered sporting clays and Fitasc. My wife has one , too. We've been competing for about 10 yrs and would shoot every weekend if we could. Sadly , work prevents that from time to time. I used to shoot pigeon races but had to give that up b/c I can no longer take all the recoil of the hot loads.

One of the reasons why I love watching Poirot is for the classic FP's they use... There's not to many episodes where a FN isn't used.

We did not record the episode , so I was going by memory. I saw the multi-faceted pen and the cross-hatched ornamentation and looking on the Net , the closest thing was an Omas...very close. I figured one of you folks would know exactly and it turned out that it was 99% likely a Wahl. I found one of those....from the 30's...and ordered it. My wife --who has no interest in pens--is going to love it. She's the one who got me hooked on Poirot and Brit shows (Foyle's War , Endeavour , etc)...One of our son-in-laws is a UK citizen and has turned us onto some other more modern shows ...like "Luther."

 

This BBs is great.

You can be assured that it was a Wahl (100%, not 99%). I have the information from the dealer who sold the two pens to the production company. In fact, Suchet loved the pen so much that I think he asked to keep one of them.

[Perazzi-man]

Not really doubting you , T , more doubting my eyes....I was SOOO SURE it was an Omas. Did Omas copy the ornamentation design from Wahl ???

[tryphon]

Absolutely! OMas got its inspiration from Wahl, as did other Italian manufacturers like Williamson of Turin.

You can watch the show on Acorn.com or PBS.... along with a lot of fun British TV... which I love also.
