magnificent celluloid!!!!:puddle:

[roberto v]

I love this pattern as well!

[eric47]

That's a very ugly pen, you should send it to me.

[Ambros]

What a fine pen!

[rroossinck]

If the truth is to be told, I think that I might enjoy the Arco pattern more when it's used in a round-barrel application than when it's used in a faceted one!

 

Did Omas ever do a cut on the bias back in the day (i.e. the spine de pesce pattern of recent vintage)?

Never seen one or a photo of one myself. But that's not saying much.

Arco's not so bad on a faceted pen, particularly when it's vintage Arco:

 

 

 

 

 

Look it's also transparent through the thin bands. Functions like an ink window!

If you want to confront the 2 versions, please be my guest:

[akiva]

You only show these wonderful pens to cause trouble for me with my wife!!!!:roflmho::roflmho:

[Korybas]

wow! Never seen that pattern before!

I am speechless, its so wonderful!

[roberto v]

What is beautiful in this pattern is that you will never find 2 identical pens and that the differences are so clearly visible!

 

This is why I love them!

Is this an OS or a standard size?

 

It's very sad being alone, you should sent it to me so can be in its family again :roflmho:

OS of course,

in Italy we say:

 

"Meglio soli che male accompagnati"

 

so my pen will stay alone
