OMAS FAO 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Fountain Pen 18K M Nib NO BOX!

Description

This is a lovely and unique OMAS F.A.O. 50th Anniversary limited edition fountain pen. It is made of a green resin. It features an 18k medium point gold nib. This fountain pen is equipped with a piston filler system that is in good working condition. The cap band is detailed with the years 1945-1995 and the F.A.O. logo. The engraved signature of Gio Pomodoro appears on the cap. 6,000 of these pens were produced.
“In 1995 the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations celebrated its 50th anniversary. Inspired and dedicated to F.A.O's 50th anniversary, Omas collaborated with renowned sculptor Gio Pomodoro to produce these fine writing instruments and donated part of the proceeds from the sales to the F.A.O for their efforts and research.”
Please note that the wear on this pen looks much more pronounced in the photos due to their close up nature. The pen does does not include the box or papers. It was used and shows signs of light wear, including surface scuffing/scratches. There is no major damage, such as cracks, dents, etc. It had some blue ink in it that has since been flushed with distilled water, but some residue remains.
This amazing pen belonged to my father, who was an avid fountain pen collector. I do not claim to be a fountain pen expert, but I can vouch for the quality of his pen collection. Please be on the lookout for more of his prized pens to be listed in the near future! I am more than happy to answer any questions that you may have to the best of my ability.
