Omas Paragon 75 Years Le Arco Brown

[Pen_Noob]

Hi,

 

I recently bought a Omas Paragon Arco Brown from 2000, the 75 years LE with a specific 75 years nib and "Symbol of Distinction" written on cap.

 

Afaik, there were made 750 pens to commemorate the 75 years, but I do not know if there were 750 pens in total or each model or each color had 750 pens made.

 

Anyone can help with this?

 

You have below 2 pictures.

I have never heard of the limitation to 750 pens. These were special editions with no limitation that ran from mid Nineties to probably 2000. I would imagine that even fewer than 750 were made, this is the first I see from the year 2000.

 

But if I recall correctly, this pen was on ebay last week and what I found interesting was a symbol/logo/initial carved on the cap that I could not discern. Can you provide a close up of the detail if this is the same pen I saw on ebay?

 

Enjoy your new beautiful Arco.

Please read description. It is not the standard Paragon Arco Brown, it is a special edition made to commemorate 75 years of company history.

They made many pens with 75 nib during the early 2000s.

And many of them are not LE or special edition.

OMAS just made a batch of 75 nibs for all their product line for celebrating their 75th anniversary.

The only official 75th LE pen is the T2 edition with gold nib.

Sorry to disagree, but this is 100% the same celluloid Paragon Arco produced for many years. Like freakman said, around the year 2000 Omas applied the 75 anniversary nib to almost every pen, sometimes also engraving the text 75 Anniversary on the cap. I am pretty sure an Arco pen from the year 2000 is very rare, never seen before. But again, only the year engraved in the section changes.

 

By the way, what is your source for the 750 limitation? And is this the pen I saw on ebay? Can you post a pict of the symbol on the cap?
