Omas Ogiva Alba

[alc3261]

I received my Alba a couple of days ago - very nice colour Purple and Extra Flessible nib but unfortunately it leaked at the section/barrel join and has had to be returned.

Sorry to hear that, I was considering buying one myself. If you don't mind sharing, did the retailer do right by you? If not, who was it?

That is a shame. Are you getting a replacement or a refund ?
They are attractive looking pens with the stylish fluting.

The retailer has ordered another one for me so I don't have to wait for a repair. They offered a refund in the meantime, no complaints about their service - Write Here! In the UK

I've read somewhere that the factory italic for Omas is untipped. Why would they have an untipped gold nib?

[youstruckgold]

What do you mean by untipped?

[ChrisC]

On the tip of nib, do you see a distinctive line between the tipping metal and the gold nib?

[youstruckgold]

Yes I do & it writes wet and beautifully smooth

Oh okay. I guess the information I read online was wrong.
