This magnificent pen (number 498 of 801) is, we think, one of the last ones for sale new anywhere in the world.

All OMAS fountain pens are a luxury to write with; the OMAS Russian Empire fountain pen especially so. It has a solid heft to the hand whilst one is writing, and the glorious nib - in gold, with the arms of the Czars highlighted in platinum - is a joy to behold.

OMAS pens were made in Italy but, sadly, the firm ceased production in 2016. When we say this is the last of the OMAS Russian Empire fountain pens available, we're sorry to say that we mean it.
