EARLY OMAS PARAGON - 557/F WITH SERIAL NUMBER
In the early 1980's, when the lines of Milord and Gentlemen in celluloid were discontinued and Omas introduced its first models in cotton resin, the top of the range was the Paragon model.
The model was named Paragon but this denomination was never engraved on the barrels of the pens. The earliest Paragons were numbered (although they were not a limited edition) and had " OMAS-557/F" engraved on the barrel. Later models show only "OMAS EXTRA" on the barrel.
They were fitted with 14 ct two tone nibs which were offered in a wide range of grades. Later on only 18 ct nibs were used.
This pen is an early Paragon with the "OMAS 557/F" imprint and the serial number engraved on the barrel.
