Many writer's have found to their surprise how comfortable a triangular shaped grip section and barrel are in the hand
This 360 is a demonstrator fountain pen, made from transparent acrylic to show off the interior mechanisms of the pen, and the ink within. It is piston filled and beautiful to behold.
The pen carries an 18k Omas Extra Fine nib, and is boxed with instruction manual, polishing cloth and bottle of OMAS black ink.
Condition
The fountain pen is in excellent condition.
Imperfections
There are no major imperfections to note, no splits cracks or engravings.
The only imperfection to note are very light micro-scratches, only evident under LED magnification. There are light ink residues around the piston and in the cap.
There is a little bit of play between the cap and barrel, nothing to suggest the cap is not secure, but present nonetheless.
But overall a superb example, many would describe as mint, as it is has been very well looked after.
Finishing Comments
The pen comes in an OMAS presentation box complete with outer sleeve and inner casings, instructions, a bottle of OMAS black ink and OMAS pen sleeve, great for protecting your pen when on the go.
