In working with our Omas supplier we have discovered
that the factory kept a number of "discontinued"
and "sold out" items in reserve. Among these
were a number of the Limited Edition T2 fountain pens.
As of late 2004 we are SOLD
OUT of these again. If we ever acquire another,
we'll post it on our IN STOCK list on our Omas main
page.
When we originally had these pens in
2000, John made a personal statement about their quality,
design and appeal. Everything is still true and so
it is inserted here:
I was not disappointed when I saw this
pen. Cut from solid pieces of titanium, it is an achievement
of modern industrial design. Based on the Paragon,
this 12-sided metal clad pen is light, strong and
understated. The very fine cut lines on each facet
of the cap and barrel adds a depth to the surface
(see detail scan below.) Titanium is a very challenging
metal to work with. (Parker's 1970 T1 titanium fountain
pen was very difficult to produce.) The nib is 18K
gold and is laser engraved with the OMAS 75th anniversary
logo.
The filling system is, as with other
OMAS pens, a reliable twist-filler type. It holds considerably
more ink than the Parker or Waterman's converters. Rather
than being cold to the touch, as many metal pens are,
this machined titanium fountain pen has a warm, almost
sensuous feel in the hand. It's like no other pen we've
ever seen.
The imprint on the back of the cap (detail above)
is incredibly crisp.
The Greek Key design on the cap and section is elegant;
a lovely compliment to the titanium.
The Limited Edition T2 is the same size as the large
Paragon, 5 5/8" long, capped.
The non-limited Milord-size T2 has
been discontinued. However, it is still available from
the factory in Fine and Medium flexible titanium nibs,
while supplies last.
Retail $1,000 SOLD OUT!
Please give us a call (323-655-2641) or
send an email (sales@nibs.com) if you have any questions
about these great pens.
