Omas Amerigo Vespucci Nib Unit

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Just recently got a few NOS Omas pens, and decided to ink one of them, picked an Amerigo Vespucci and inked it with Parker Quink blue-black, when started to write realised in is driping from under the nib on both sides, I want to take out the nib and re insert it, my question is if the feed and nib are friction fit or screw in?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

 

It turned out to be a friction fit and was able to take out the nib and the feed, also did some adjustment to the nib to make it more wet, fixed it back and its all perfect now.

 

Best regards.

I received an Omas Amerigo Vespucci and a Pelikan Gunther Wagner set as an inheritance.

 

I have the inner and outex boxes (rectangular boxes), pen holder & parchment, wrap, and booklet of the Omas. It is in very good condition, just with some brassing on the Clip. I used it a little bit before removing the ink and the nib is a super smooth M.

 

The second set is a Pelikan Gunther Wagner (Blue Demonstrator or "Baby" Blue Ocean) size B. This set (fountain + ball point) had very little use. It comes with an ink bottle, blue and white boxes and booklet.

 

I washed off the ink and am here debating if I should sell the pens or not. I was told that if the pens are not used, the inside can dry up.

 

I need a knowledgeable opinion. I don't want to run the risk of keeping the pens and loosing them due to improper care!!

 

Thank you!!

Collections of several hundred of pens make impossible to use them all continuously, or to keep the internal part wet with water.

Having a dry pen do not give any damage, if this was the question.

Yes, thank you, this was the most important question!!

 

If I am not taking too much of your time, would you be able to elaborate a Little bit about current prices for those pens, and market in general?

      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
