Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Paragon (oversized) Arte Italiana (dodecagonal - 12 facets) Precious Facets (refers to the sterling cap)
Manufacturer and Year Omas, Italy (1990s)
Length 5-5/8"
Filling System Piston filler. Tested and working well.
Nib 18k Medium nib. As you can see from the photos, the masking was rather thickly applied and not very precisely! We've polished the nib after taking the photos and it mellowed considerably and doesn't look orange.
Color This pen has a beautiful 12-faceted black resin body with a sterling silver cap, gold trim.
Condition New old stock condition, with some fine pitting on the trim. In box with paperwork and white pen sleeve. This is a shiny, impressive, elegant pen that is beautifully crafted. The barrel has some light marks picked up in storage. The sterling silver cap has very fine polishing marks and pin sized dots of pitting. The box has definitly seen better days -- the leatherette/faux leather is fragile and flaking. The imprints are clear.
