Color Arco Brown celluloid. It's like a woodgrain pattern where the lighter browns seem to glow. The pen looks very different when held in different lighting at different angles. It has a Greek key pattern cap band that molds itself to the facets and has a pair of narrow bands on the top and bottom of the main band.
Nib 18k Medium Cursive Italic nib. The nib is two-toned with silver colored masking and gold plating. The nib is springy. There is an M on the side of the nib to identify nib size. The nib was later ground for line variation. See the writing sample below. The masking looks perfect. This particular Omas nib is shiny and has no satin finish.
Condition Superior condition. No cracks, chips, scratches, or personalization. No dents or dings on the cap. The nib looks perfect. The pen has handwear though and when admiring the arco finish in sunlight, you can make out the faint wear. The wear is difficult to see as is the cap imprint, but the cap imprint is very clear. Ships in large velvet box with paperwork. The paperwork is on a tray beneath the pen tray.
