Anima Vintage is a productive project deriving from the collaboration with Sec Calligraphy by Stefano Costantini.

The idea supporting the project is to manufacture  hand made high quality fountain pens drawing inspiration from the past.The design and details of Anima Vintage fountain pens are developed with tradition as a reference.

In most cases, nibs are recycled from vintage models as the main interest is having pens which are not only beautiful and pleasant to use, but which also write well and can offer some level of flexibility.

The  series comprises pens which are simple, elegant, light in the hand and perfectly balanced, equipped with high quality vintage gold nibs.

The entire productive process of Anima Vintage pens is completed exclusively by hand making each piece unique. Each component is hand-made, finished and assembled by hand.

Like the pens of the past, Anima Vintage models are free of glue. Every pieces is assembled by thread or friction: cap bands are fitted by hand, nibs and feeders are assembled one by one and individually tested.

The filling mechanism on Anima Vintage Line models can be a push knob, very similar to the mechanism Montblanc used in the 1930's or a piston, which is a recycled and refurbished vintage Omas piston.

The Anima Vintage series comprises three models:

Anima Vintage Line

Anima Vintage Ogiva Extra

Anima Vintage Deco

The idea for the Ogiva Extra  derives from a super rare Omas Ogiva model I have owned for may years now. It is a unique piece in green jade celluloid, which is included in the second volume of the History of Italian Fountain Pens ( page 72).It is one of the most beautiful and unusual Omas pens I have ever met in my experience.

Stefano was able to perfectly reproduce the model in every detail and manufactured a perfect replica. We decided to call it OGIVA EXTRA  and fit it with vintage Omas Extra nibs and original vintage ebonite feeders.

The pen is a piston filler and it is fitted with a vintage, fully refurbished Omas piston mechanism.

OGIVA EXTRA pens are presently available both in colourful ebonite and acrylic.

The series is not limited, but I only have a limited number of Omas nibs.

This Ogiva Extra Demonstrator Wisteria in transparent violet  acrylic has a very pleasant, flexible and very responsive Omas Extra nib grade F.

NOTE: OUR OGIVA EXTRAS ARE NOT CONNECTED IN ANY WAY WITH THE OMAS BRAND. THEY ARE MANUFACTURED WITH NEW MATERIALS AND FITTED WITH VINTAGE SECOND HAND OMAS NIBS.
