Omas Galileo Galilei LE Fountain Pen - Display Model - Cracked Ice Celluloid

Description

Omas Galileo Galilei Limited Edition Fountain Pen
Omas released the Galileo Galilei model in 1993 in commemoration of the 650th anniversary of the University of Pisa.
This pen was “dedicated” to the great Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei. He was born in Pisa, but it was also in 1992, the year before this pen was released, that he was finally declared innocent by the inquisition of heresy for his support of Copernicus' radical ideas regarding the solar system. It took only 460 years.
The Edition is based on the 12-sided, Paragon model which was first produced in 1932. It is a celluloid pen, which is notable since Omas had only resumed production of celluloid in 1991 after a lapse of some years. The celluloid pattern was, as far as I can determine, Omas' first use of the “Wild” pattern of white on black.
The pen is a display model and has been used, may have some minor handling wear. Comes with 18k Medium nib and uses a piston filling system. Please look over images carefully before purchase. Our images are of the actual pen for sale.
