Is This Omas Feed Normal?

[gmax]

I've just received a Milord from an authorised dealer with the same feed. It's definitely plastic, and has the same "3" numeral moulded in the recess as shown in the Tibaldi image above.

 

It's a disappointingly dingy lookng affair, compared to the lovely succulent looking ebonite feeds on all of my other Omas pens

 

I have asked the dealer if this is a new standard for Omas, and when the change may have been introduced.

Authorized dealer or not, even on the entry level pens, Omas uses hand cut ebonite feeds. That is not an Omas feed clearly. I would contact Omas directly that feed is problematic.

Thank you for your comment. Actually, the pen was shipped to OMAS and it is there waiting for repair. Let's see how it works!

I am not sure, you are the first person that says that you also received this... I finally decided to ship it OMAS to get it changed into an ebonite feed. I am currently waiting for it to come back. All of this is very weird.
