Omas Eira Fountain Pen

[ValleyBoy]

Evening pen people.

As another week comes to an end before it even began I thought I’d share some pics of a pen I made yesterday.

I used an acrylic material that was procured from the famous Omas pen factory in Italy when it closed down. It didn’t come with a name so I’ve called it “Eira”, which is Welsh for snow.

It has 13mm cap threads and a Bock no6 nib. The red accent rings are a bit of a signature of mine. I sell my pens under the brand name “Rockster” which is named after our dog Rocky (we often call him “the Rockster”). Since a pup he has always worn a red collar, so hence the red “collars” on many of my pens.

Anyway here it is. All comments welcomed and, in the meantime, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Cheers
Ash

I like it, Ash, nicely understated pen that suits the red collar........and I like the Rockster as well.

That's really nice, I am liking the blank a lot too. As Alan said it suits the red collars and it's also nice to know the story behind them..... Well done and enjoy your weekend too.

Yes he’s a miniature schnauzer and they are wonderful dogs. He has us all wrapped around his little finger.
