OMAS LUCENS WARTIME - medium size gray marbled

The Lucens model was introduced by Omas in 1936 with a rich greek-key cap band. The style of the model was reviewed in the following years and the cap was simplified.The rich band was replaced by three thin cap bands.

During wartime years, the gold filling had to be abandoned and all caps were produced with chrome colored metal parts.

Wartime finish was matched with an alloy nib (Omas named this alloy Permanio) which was used to replaced gold nibs.

Immediately after the war, Omas went back to the use of gold and  Permanio nibs were abandoned in favor of traditional gold nibs.

This pen is fitted with its original Permanio nib and it is in excellent condition. The reddish transparency of the barrel is very intense.

The Permanio nib can be replaced on request with a gold 14 ct Omas Extra nib, to have a more pleasant writing experience.
