OMAS GENTLEMAN - BLACK RESIN - B NIB

In the 1980's Omas revised its production lines and introduced facetted piston fillers in cotton resin.

The new line comprised facetted piston fillers in black cotton resin  with greek key cap band.  4 sizes were available: top of the range was the Paragon (originally named 557/F and later on simply  Omas Extra) which was fitted with a second decorative greek key band on the grip). The Paragon was the most expensive senior size available. For a less expensive senior model you could have a 1930 Gentleman, which was the same size but had a single tone nib and no decorative greek key band on the grip.

Medium sized models were named Milord and lady size pens were named Dama.

Imprints on barrels of Paragons and Gentleman models varied in the course of time: Paragons went from 557/F with and then without serial number, to Omas Extra and to no engraving at all; Gentleman models went from Gentleman 1930, to Gentleman only and then Omas Extra.

This Omas Gentleman has the Omas Extra Imprint on the barrel

The nib is a very pleasant semi flexible B.
