Ancora Pens - Now On Fountain Pen Network

[Ancora]

Greetings, members of the Fountain Pen Network!

 

We are Ancora, the pen production house from northern Italy where weve been making high-quality, truly Italian pens since 1919.

 

Over time, Ancora has been through a number of changes, and a lengthy hiatus as well. However for quite some years weve been able to reliably produce both cutting-edge, exquisite premium-priced pens like the Shogun and the Titanic, and classic, elegant and more moderately priced pieces like Perla and Maxima. Were also one of the pen companies that still manufacture our own nibs in-house, and our smooth-writing 18K gold nibs have become a staple of our models.

 

Recently, we have acquired Omas S.R.L., another classic Italian brand beloved by many of our customers. We are currently working on bringing back the Omas model lineup, and are in the early stages of planning the logistics, materials etc.. We want to preserve the classic Omas feel and quality, but at the same time use the benefits of cutting-edge technology to make sure that Omas fans around the world have access to the best quality at optimal prices.

 

We believe its time to connect with the pen enthusiast community more closely, and are ready to answer any questions you might have, as well as hear any feedback or input you might have both on existing Ancora and upcoming Omas pens.

 

You can find our inventory catalog on https://ancora1919.com/ and on Amazon, and all further updates on Omas will be posted on http://www.omas.com/

It is good news, and it is heartening to find that the rejuvenator of the brand chose to communicate the news directly to FPN.

 

I cannot imagine that what they eventually produce will once again "be" OMAS, but if there was any Italian pen that rendered the sensual and even primordial pleasure in writing that OMAS pens gave, it was certainly Ancora.

 

The Ancora pens I know tended to be similar in style and design, differing only in manufacturing materials -- which is a good sign. It means that attention to detail was more important than producing mass amounts of cheap pens.

 

Waiting to see what Ancora produces, and if they will be called OMAS or Ancomas or Omara or some similar indication that they are separate but equal, but in general it sounds hopeful.

We’re excited to hear such high praise! One thing that is certain at this point, however, is that there will be no “Ancomas”. We believe deeply that both brands are staples of world’s (not just Italian) pencraft, and that each brand carries its own values and traditions. Omas will remain Omas, retaining its trademark features, and Ancora will remain Ancora.

I own several Omas pens and I'm really happy to hear that they will be available again in the near future.

I’m a big fan of Ancora stubs. Glad to hear Omas might be back. Hopefully with the hard to find nib sizes that made them so attractive.
