If you've been waiting for just the right classic Omas at just the right price, here's your chance!



What can possibly be said about the classic Omas Paragon in Arco Brown that hasn't already been written? That it is often acknowledged to be one of the best looking, most desired pens of all? That it is one of the finest writing pens of all? That despite many attempts, nobody has made an Arco Brown to rival the original?



This classic Omas Paragon is piston filled with two tone 18K gold nib in Broad that writes nice and wet. This carefully pre-loved Omas measures approximately 138 mm long capped and 128 mm long uncapped. The piston operates properly, the nib writes without issues, and the feed keeps up. The pen is accompanied by boxes and papers, plus a signed Omas pen sleeve.



Check the major auction site and you'll find these priced for hundreds of dollars higher than what I am asking.



$1500 plus $25 shipping within US


Shipment outside US may be available at cost. Please inquire.

How is the celluloid alignment between the body and cap when the cap is screwed on?
Any issues there?

Also any celluloid alignment issues on the piston knob and body?

Thanks

Please see the first picture in my post, above the text. Between piston knob and body, the alignment appears to be spot on. Between cap and body, if fully snug the alignment is off by just a tiny bit. If the cap is loosened a small fraction (while still being tight enough to remain in place without wobbling at all), the alignment is also spot on.
