Historical Significance & Rarity Assessment

• Status: The Holy Grail of Italian and international fountain pen collecting.
• Rarity: Extremely Rare – Tier 1 Investment Grade. Pre-war Omas Extra models in the true Oversize (Senior) 14 cm format were produced in very limited numbers compared to standard sizes. Finding a true Senior size today—especially in this pristine, unaltered condition—is an absolute rarity on the global market.

Condition Report (Museum Quality / Near Mint)

• Celluloid Body: Flawless Preservation. 1930s celluloid is notoriously prone to crystallization, shrinkage, and ink discoloration. This specimen exhibits none of these flaws. The material retains its original, deep, three-dimensional luster. The smooth, rounded barrel and cap surfaces are perfectly preserved and show no signs of pocket wear, deep scratches, or degradation.
• Gold Trim & Hardware: Pristine State (No Brassing). Unlike most surviving pre-war pens where the gold plating is worn down to the base metal, the high-mounted roller clip and the massive Greek key (meander) band retain their full, brilliant factory gold-fill with zero brassing or micro-scratches.
• Barrel Imprint: Crisp and Deep. The original factory cursive imprint "Omas Extra" on the celluloid barrel is perfectly legible, sharp, and deep. This confirms the pen has never undergone aggressive buffing or polishing.
• Functionality: 100% Operational & Professionally Restored. The traditional lever-filler mechanism operates flawlessly and smoothly. The internal ink sac has been replaced. The lever draws ink with perfect suction, making the pen fully ready to write or display.

Physical Specifications & Design

• Length (Capped): 140 mm (14.0 cm / 5.51 inches) – A commanding profile that unequivocally confirms the largest, historic Oversize variant.
• Shape: Classic smooth, rounded Ogiva (torpedo-shaped) profile, which perfectly showcases the depth and fluidity of the celluloid pattern.
• Material: Finest Italian marbled celluloid in a magnificent Brown/Bronze and Gold pattern, offering an exquisite and vibrant chatoyancy under the light.

Nib & Writing Performance

• Nib: Original Omas pre-war 14-Karat Solid Gold (14 KT) nib featuring the iconic, historic heart-shaped breather hole.
• Nib Imprint: "OMAS 14 KT EXTRA".
• Performance (Super Flex): The nib features the legendary, mythical flexibility characteristic of Omas’s golden era. Under minimal hand pressure, the tines open effortlessly, providing dramatic line variation from Extra Fine (EF) to an incredibly rich Double Broad (BB+). It is both a supreme calligraphy instrument and a historical masterpiece.
• Feed: Original black ebonite/hard-rubber feed with horizontal fins, in perfect, clean condition.

SummaryThis is not merely a writing instrument, but a museum-grade investment piece. The combination of the 14 cm Ogiva Oversize footprint, flawless smooth celluloid, "No Brassing" gold trim, and a Super-Flex 14K nib places this fountain pen at the absolute pinnacle of vintage writing equipment.
