Omas Paragon Arco bronze celluloid unused 14 ct nib
In 1991 omas introduced the collezione celluloide; it was a glorious comeback to the use of celluloid after more than 20 years of resin. The line comprised facetted piston fillers with greek key cap band which were designed drawing inspiration from of the successful lines of extra lever fillers of the 1903's. These pens were aesthetically very similar to the vintage extras but for the filling mechanism and the nib: models from the 1930's were lever fillers and had 14 ct single-tone extra gold nibs, while the new pens were piston fillers with two tone nibs with the outline of an arrow. The range of colors comprised: jet black, royal blue, arco bronze, marbled burgundy, saft green, saffron and speckled gray.

The line was produced in three sizes and the packaging used was reminiscent of vintage boxes. All the pens had the date engraved on the section (from 1991 to 1997). Paragons in celluloid remained in production in the following years, too but with a different packaging and in later years, without the date engraved on the section. This paragon in arco bonze celluloid is unused and is fitted with a 14 ct gold nib, grade f.

The pen is unused and it comes with a standard omas box. There is no engraving on the section, nor on the barrel.
