OMAS Autunno Gold
Omas has produced a new celluloid color called Autunno for the Ogiva Collection. It's slightly darker than the Saft Green of the Celluloid Paragon Collection and has more bronze tones in the golden portions, as detailed below. It's a darkly handsome color that we assume reflects Autumn colors in Italy. The pen is 5 3/4" long, capped, and this is the gold-filled trim version. The nib is an 18K single-tone Medium and we are very limited in the different nibs we can offer. Retail $635 Call for our price: 323-655-2641 SOLD OUT

Hi Pat,
The Autunno arrived yesterday while I was out of the office, so it was waiting for me this morning. All I can say at this point is 'WOW!". That celluloid is just wonderful in a dark, conservative way. A very elegant pen and a pleasure to hold. It also looks great paired with my Bronze Arco stub. So far I've only written a paragraph... and I think I can say that John has nailed it for me! The changes in my profile and John's usual superb craftsmanship have made this cursive italic my instant favorite of the five (!) Omas pens you have done for me.
Thank you so much for the superb service and invaluable advice. I'll send you a sample of my handwriting with this pen after I have a chance to write a bit more with it... By the way, Noodler's Zhivago is a great looking ink in the Autunno, it matches the celluloid colors well.
Regards,

(ED: then, as a written note received on 7/10/06): Dear Pat and John, Thank you both for this wonderful Ogiva Autunno with the cursive italic nib. This is my new benchmark. Not only is the pen a visual beauty but this nib writes perfectly for me. The current profile that you are using for me is great. Many, many thanks! Best regards, Kent
P.S. Waterman Florida Blue on Clairefontaine Triumphe paper. Note: this pen also writes very well on poorer paper.

Pat -- I got the wonderful Autunno today -- it is spectacular! The depth of color, offset by the gold accents, is quite beautiful, and it writes like a dream. Interesting that the medium point does not seem much broader than the fine point in my Paragon -- it is a smooth writer and the line width works quite well for my handwriting style. I'm so glad you let me talk myself into it. After this, getting the Togi nib for my Sailor seems absolutely gluttonous -- but I guess I can live with gluttony if it means I get to write with pens like these.
Once again, thank you for your kind attention to detail and excellent service. I am so lucky to have found you. Mike (2/21/05)
