In my opinion I do think all bets are off on the prices of the most desirable OMAS pens. Anything Arco included as well as the Titanium and Metal cap FPs and the Transparents / Demonstrators in models such as the Albas and 360s.

I was shocked to see a 360 in Arco Brown recently sell for $4200.00. A pen that was acquired for $1200.00 just before OMAS went down. Supply and demand will continue to drive the prices up for select OMAS pens and they may become some of the rarest FP one day.

I picked up a Arco Dama about 7 years ago. One of 53 made. So most of the OMAS models in select celluloids were not made in great quantity.

Even is someone somehow revives the name I have read that celluloids like the Arco are gone forever. All their rod stock was purchase by a couple of other penmakers. ASC purchased a lot and even Conid bought a few rods.

This is just my opinion. Great thread!
