OMAS LUCENS GRAY LAMINATED CELLULOID - MEDIUM SIZE - VERY FLEXIBLE NIB
The Lucens model was introduced in 1936.
The word "Lucens" is Latin and means "shiny", "full of light". The denomination was choosen to emphasize the transparency of the barrel, which allowed ink visibility and a great capacity, thanks to the innovative reverse plunger mechanism.
Omas Lucens models were initially produced with a greek key cap band which was later simplified into three cap rings. During wartime cap finish became chrome-colored in association with steel nibs, whose alloy was called "Permanio".
Omas Lucens models were produced in a wide range of marbled colors: green, gray, burgundy and in laminated celluloid in gray, green and blue ( this being extremely rare). Black Lucens pens in black celluloid can be found with yellow or red transparency of the barrel with black decorative lines: horizontal, spiralled, vertical (very rare).
This Omas Lucens in laminated gray celluloid is a medium size in excellent condition with a very pleasant flexible nib which goes from M to B. For more detail about Lucens and Extra Lucens pens, you can check the blog.
