OMAS Jerusalem 3000
Limited Edition Fountain Pen
"Be strong and of good courage;..."
- King David
In 1996 OMAS produced 3000 Jerusalem L.E.
fountain pens to mark the 3000th anniversary of Jerusalem's
establishment as a city. At 5.6" long closed, and weighing
in at a supreme 68.5g without ink (just under half of that weight,
31g, being the cap alone), this is an iconic pen.
The limited edition number, below,
is engraved on the barrel just below the silver overlay.
Winding over the "purpura"-crimson resin
barrel, cap and section, low and high bas reliefs are
engraved into the sterling silver overlay.
"Omas Extra" is engraved, in script, at
the bottom of the barrel next to the blind cap.
Jerusalem is a city accepting of constant change. With
that in mind, OMAS chose three of its famous gates as
the symbols for this fountain pen: the circular Jaffa
Gate, the Zion
Gate and the Lion's
Gate.
Intricately cast vines separate each design.
The patina on the sterling silver is deliberate. It
is as a result of the oxidation process applied to the
molded overlay.
The "Jerusalem 3000" logo is represented in the three
languages of Israel: Arabic, English and Hebrew.
The Wailing Wall, one of the most recognized sites of Jerusalem,
has been cast into the sterling silver.
A minuscule "925" chop-mark,
just below the lip of the cap, authenticates the silver
content of the overlay.
The top, and bottom, of the cap is encircled with
engravings of the ancient star, rosettes and the cartouche.
Painstaking care was taken to render this pen an
authentic expression of Jerusalem's history and culture.
So as not to hide the intricate details of the silver
overlay, an open rhodium-plated clip, with an engraved
King Solomon's seal at the end, was chosen.
This Jerusalem L.E. comes with a limited edition
18k rhodium plated Medium nib. The nib is also engraved
with the "Jerusalem 3000" logo.
Resembling a modern wood sculpture, the pen is packaged
in an olive wood box. A gold plaque on the inside
of the box completes the design.
This pen comes complete with papers and inner, and
outer, presentation boxes. It is in excellent condition.
