Omas Amerigo Vespucci Packaging

[shinsenai]

Hi, I recently got an OMAS Amerigo Vespucci fountain pen in a small rectangular box with the drawing of the Amerigo Vespucci on the internal side the lid, the international guarantee and the wrapping sail cloth. However, I've always seen the fountain pen packaged in a larger box, with an internal wooden cylinder and a folio of history of the ship. Can anybody shed some light on the packaging? Is mine a valid original version or is this a fountain pen packaged in a roller box?

 

Thanks!

I think it's original. I've seen worse packaging of this pen(And it's likely to be original because I've seen that more than twice).

The larger box version seems to be produced in the earlier times.

have you purchased it at mora stylos? he had the same pen for sale which is sold now.

No, I purchased it from a different dealer. However, I remember it was available at Morastylos, but it was described as coming in the original box with the matching wooden cylinder, therefore I assume was the original packaging, not the one I have.

You are correct, the original packaging was larger and included a cylindrical container. This smaller size packagin was used to store ballpoint and pencils of the same series. Still a beautiful and original package, especially because ballpoints and pencils did not come with the piece of cloth to my knowledge!

Probb you got the wrong box. The box looks like a BP box or rolerpen.
