These Omegas are starting to fly off the shelves with greater frequency which reflects a trend this year amongst the shows that I have been to which indicates that people who do want to buy a pen are prepared to spend a little more, my average ticket price has shot up at some shows. Great pen, love them. A tip though to protect what is a delicate thread on the nib holder compression fit. Insert and compress the finial fitting first and then take an acrylic off cut and drill it with a 27/64 hole and place this over the nib holder compression fitting whilst you squeeze it into the tube, it will stop the thread collapsing.
