OMAS MILORD GRAY PEARL CELLULOID- RARE STUB NIB

In the 1960's Omas restyled the line of its top of the range models. The traditional 55X line was replaced by  three new models which had a rich greek key cap band. 

The small lady pens (corresponding to the former 555/F) were named Dama , the standard size ( corresponding to  the former 556/F) was named Milord and the larger 557/F became Gentlemen.

Actually the only remarkable difference was the style of the cap band. Size and design remained basically unaltered from the past.

The Gentlemen is nowadays one of the most desirable Omas writers in black celluloid along with its 557/F counterpart. The smaller Milord corresponds in size to the traditional 556/F,  and it is perfectly suitable for a small male or a feminine medium-sized hand.

Gentlemen, Milord and Dama pens were manufactured in black celluloid and in gray pearl. 

This Milord in gray pearl celluloid is pretty rare. both for the color and for the nib. Omas stub nibs are very uncommon as the majority of Omas nibs are F or EF. 

The pen is in excellent condition with very limited signs of time and use. Only the color of the celluloid has become a bit darker than it used to be with a slight greenish shade, which is the tone this type of celluloid often acquires with aging.
