Faceted sterling Omas - model name?

[FredRydr]

Can anyone identify the model name (if any) if the following pen? I have a faceted Omas in sterling with gold roller clip, gold Greek-key bands on the cap and on the section, and gold "750" two-color nib. Omas issued 100 of these with no other model identification other than "OMAS ITALY xxx/100" on the cap, probably in the 1980s or 1990s.

Dimensions (or a picture)? I think it's probably a Paragon-size model, but maybe they made these in the Milord size as well.

Dimensions...?....

Capped 136mm end to end, about 5 3/8 in.

Based upon Freddie's post above, it's an Arte Italiano and still be named either a Milord or Paragon, depending upon which is 136mm, capped.

Okay, let's try this: Is a 136mm capped Omas Arte Italiano a Paragon or a Milord?

Milord would be 5.3" to 5.4".

So...~135-137mm, making 136mm a Milord. Cool! Thank you.

What now is called a Milord was before called a Paragon. I'm not at all an expert but you'd need to find out when it was produced. Your pen has the dimensions of a modern Milord but it meight very well be a vintage Paragon as they're the same size.

Quote from the OMAS wikipedia page:
"The largest size pen manufactured as a non-limited edition in their most current production was the 12-faceted Paragon, the second largest being the Milord. OMAS' product range was last updated in 2005. The Milord model became the size of the pre-2005 Paragon model. OMAS continued to release limited editions based on their earlier style of pens."

Aww $#*%! LOL

FWIW, It does appear to be a Paragon, since it is the largest size issued before 2005 when the sizes changed.
