Omas Paragon Saffron Blue with medium nib. I’ve been talking about Omas with a few people this week. So I had to ink one up. This is a Paragon, from 1997, in Saffron Blue celluloid. That material isn’t incredibly common, but it is really beautiful.
The Saffron Blue celluloid is primarily dark blue, with ochre, white and gold. It reminds me of Vermeer’s palette. Or maybe Van Gogh — but only the celluloid; not the pen.
I always use a safe blue ink in this one. Today it’s Kaweco Royal Blue, which is an unheralded but excellent standard blue.

Can I haz it?

I always make myself ink up any pen I think about selling. Unfortunately, in this case, writing with it has reminded me how great this pen really is. #thanksobama

Absolutely stunning colour!! It has an understated elegance to it, yet so much depth. What a beauty to have in your collection! I’m jealous 🙂
