I got a new pen in the mail today (new to me, used though). The seller described it as: "OMAS Arte Italiana Arte Deco fountain pen black titanium nib."
I know very little about it, wondering if folks here know more. It has a titanium nib, an ebonite feed. It is marked Omas Italy on the cap. The nib is nice and smooth and you *can* get some line variation with a heavy hand (which I don't have). Doesn't bounce like my Omas Italiana '90's gold nib.
Very light pen, feels very much like the Italiana '90 in the hand.
I inked it with Sailor's Phasianus Versicolor (pheasant). Pretty shading and gentle sheen. Messy writting sample follows.
Seller said this was one of the cheaper Omas pens, but that's all I know about it, and Googling for it isn't terribly helpful. Anyone have one, or know about when this was made?
