The Osmia pen company was known for their quality writing instruments and wonderful fountain pen nibs. Faber-Castell began to acquire the company in the mid-1930s, and the acquisition was completed in 1951. After that, F-C continued to produce a limited number of Osmia-developed pens, identified by the Osmia logo on the cap, through the 1960s, and this model 66G is one of their last remaining designs.It's a lovely piece of history that should serve you faithfully for years to come.
