Incoming! Omas Arte Italiana Vision liquid green.

I'm officially putting a cap on pen purchases for a while......I think. Two Omas pens in one month is challenging the national debt these days. This baby came up on eBay this morning. I've had eBay on auto pilot looking for one for me over several months and a lightly used model came up with a good, solid, medium nib at a reasonable price. I made a fair offer and knocked a little more off. Richard (bisquitlips) has taught me well . I'm pretty excited about this one. I had a blue version briefly that was returned due to a cracked barrel. I may or may not see that pen again in my collection. If it's repaired, I'll buy it back. The green with ruthenium trim was the one I was after the whole time though so this purchase was a big score for my Omas collection. One of 331 pens in green so somewhat rare these days. Couple pics from the auction. These piston fillers are the slightly smaller Milord size. Will post more when the pen arrives this weekend!

One more pic from the auction. The Vision series is a tinted demonstrator. Word has it the colors are inspired by watercolor.

That is gorgeous. Love the translucent teal color.

And the dark furniture is true to the design and color. That nib looks like it is made out of glass!

Nice!
