Recommended Posts

OMAS is back! After a seven year hiatus, this renowned manufacturer has resumed operations in Italy and is once again producing hand-crafted celluloid pens of remarkable beauty and outstanding writing performance.

Now in stock with us and available for immediate purchase, the new OMAS Ogiva Extra Blue Saffron Celluloid 222 Limited Edition celebrates the return of this legendary manufacturer.

Being produced in just 222 numbered pieces worldwide, each pen has been hand-assembled in Italy from legacy celluloid produced by OMAS in the 1980's. Original OMAS 18k solid gold nibs are available in your choice of Fine, Medium, or Broad. 

Each pen is $895 - demand is expected to be very strong for this beautiful writing instrument, and we strongly suggest ordering as soon as possible to avoid missing out!

It certainly is beautiful. Out of my reach, sadly.

Exactly what I was going to say!

 

I have a vintage Omas 556/F Extra arriving any day now though, so I can't complain.

This is not the legendary Omas having reopened its doors and operations, it is The Pen Family (aka ASC)

 

Here is a recently released video where the CEO explains what is happening which include his mention that the pens are being manufactured by The Pen Family.

I'm amazed they still have original Omas nibs laying around. That makes this pen way more desirable to me...but the material of the body/cap doesn't really do anything for me.

 

Honestly, I have way too many pens. I could sell a few and afford something like this, but I'd only do such a thing for some bronze Arco material with a real original Omas nib...

The title of the video says that Emmanuel is also the owner of nibs.com--I'm assuming that he bought the business from John Mottishaw. The mailing address of nibs.com is now in Florida.

Eric, your best bet for that is to get in touch with Sarj Minhas.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Hey Jay. I've looked into what it would cost to have a pen made in that material. I was quoted $1,500.00, and that was several years ago. That's just too rich for my humble socioeconomic status. My whole pen collection probably isn't even worth 3k, I can't imagine have $1,500.00 tied up in ONE pen. It's taken me 9 years to acquire what little I have too, LOL.

 

I'll stick to my hobby exit pen (M1000) as originally planned...

An alternative to this pen for me would be one of the pens that  Letizia Jacopini  (aka Iacopini) is offering on her site, TENPEN, Anima Vintage, a joint production by Ms Jacopini & Stefano Costantini, which use vintage nibs, many of which are OMAS  & are based on archival Italian designs, again one of which is the OMAS Ogiva & are hand made by Mr. Costantini.

 

Although this is a fairly recent collaboration I would trust Ms. Jacopini's reputation as an Italian pen Historian & Dealer of long standing for offering a product I would trust.

 

Just perusing her inventory of other pens for sale was a treat for me, besides exciting to see these newly introduced pens.

Yes!  You are so right, that Barking pig (and do you fly, too??)  They really do look very delicious (and pigs are reputed to eat <anything>, aren't they?)  😁

I HAVE flown but not recently; my favorite attribute about my moniker is always, "Even a blind big can occasionally find an acorn."

 

It has taken all my restraint not to purchase one of those pens from Ms. Jacopini; they have surely captured my attention!

Just an update to our FPN friends that this pen is going fast - more than half our allocation is already gone, and the pen is likely to sell out within a matter of days.

In addition to the nibs in Fine and Medium, original OMAS 18k yellow gold nibs in Extra Fine, Double Broad, and Oblique Medium are also now available, and of course we can offer our usual selection of nib customizations. Feel free to contact us at sales@nibs.com with any questions...

      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
