Product Description
Type Classic style fountain pen
Product Name We are judging this to be the older style faceted Paragon pen, aka 557/F "Black", though it is not marked. (The 557 refers to the length and F refers to the facets.)
Manufacturer and Year Omas, Italy -- probably dating from the 1980s or 1990s. Older style non-roller clip.
Length 5-5/8" -- this was the largest pen at the time and considered a Paragon model. It is smaller than the current Paragons which debuted in 2005, and a bit bigger than the current Milords.
Filling System Piston filler has been checked and is working well
Color A black barrel and cap made of natural cotton resin. The barrel and cap have gold trim and are 12-faceted. The barrel is labeled, "Omas Extra."
Nib 18k Medium nib with only slight spring and smooth like Omas is expected to be.
Condition Near mint condition. A few light marks on the facets, but otherwise very shiny. Fully guaranteed.
