Thanks very much, My Friend! I appreciate it.

Thanks!

I love it! Thank you for watching!

Many thanks! That’s why I am here. Thank you!

Hello and thank you! Always love knowing that there are Italian connections. Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the video!

Thanks so much! That song needs to swing! It’s the Marine Corp Band, which is the only way I was able to use it. Thanks!

I have this ink actually in a Jinhao 9019

Thank you very much!

It really is! It changes in the light too which is cool.

Thanks so much and thanks for noticing!

Thanks Man!

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks very much for watching!

Truly! Thanks so much for the kind words.

Thanks for watching! And for the kind words.

Thanks very much! I’m glad you liked the video. The celluloid ones look even lovelier. Thanks!

More Helen! Nice! I did do her collection a while back. I am sure I’ll bring her back again at some point. Which comparison would you like to see OMAS v Aurora?

Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you!

Good choice! Thank you!

The Omas 360 is coming back as per their new website.

You should!

Hi Debby. I mailed a letter to you this morning.

@@robertcalkjr.8325 I look forward to receiving it! Thank you!

@@debbypodgorski4144 You're welcome. Scott mentioned you in his letter to me, so I wrote you. I mailed a letter to him this morning also.

Thank you!

Thanks so much! Your pen sounds cool! 😎

Sounds interesting!

I am considering that! I am going to meet up with Stiliograph Corsani in Roma. It should be fun. He is a gentleman.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks very much!

Thank you too

It really is! Thanks so much.

Whoopsie! It is very nice. I am using it at this very moment. I hope you enjoy it!

Wonderful! So glad you are having a nice time!

Thank you! I would love one of those as well. I may pick one up from Peyton Street Pens sometime. I love that material. The modern OMAS makes some from celluloid through ASC but they are pricey and I haven’t tried one.

Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed it! I really like this EF. It's quite nice!

I wish I could help with that! Thanks for watching.

Glad you liked it! Thanks very much! I had fun with that shot and I saved the template for it, so I will use it again. All the best!

Thank you very much! Thanks for watching.

That is never fun! Thanks for watching my friend and I hope you sorted that out.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! Italy is so lovely!

I would love to! I just need to get a hold of one.

@HomerIncognito..Truth be told, this supposed ‘OMAS’ pen is for all intents and purposes, a Nahvalur rebranded as OMAS with a Chinese nib (again branded as OMAS). What a total sham!

@@sajjadhusain4146 yeah, the price is too good for what it's supposed to be. Relatively large 14k nib, ebonite feed, piston filler and nice material... This kind of pens cost more if they're made by Italian companies. At least partially it has to use Chinese components.

Thanks!

Thanks Man! It hits all the right notes.

So, what is up with the Pen Family?

I only care that you like the video! Thanks!

That is true, but I can tell you that they really don’t check their pens when they send them. Maybe the better ones do, but I have had mediocre pens from bigger brands. Or at least that’s how it seems. But I think it is true that it can be a factor II do buy some of my pens as well and always say which. I want you guys to have that knowledge. You also have the ability to have your pen checked before shipping. You should be asking people like Brendan Schmidt from Atlas to check your pen. This pen is awesome. Truly. I will never sell it. Also, one very important thing you should know, I wish it were terrible. I would rather expose a brand for being awful so more people watch. I want you to watch the video. That is my only concern. My product is your entertainment and to have you watch informative videos. That’s why I am here. Thanks for watching and for the great comment.

@@HemingwayJones Thank you for the sincere clarification.

@@michaelbeer1522 Thank you for being here.

If you haven't figured out by now---virtually all pen companies that you purchase from can be a crap shot as to how nice the nib writes right out of the box. I only own 14 fountain pens from Visconti, Pelikan, Pilot, Lamy, S.T. Dupont, etc and I'd say about 6 of those pens were sent away to a nibmeister to modify for near perfection. Three out of the four Pilot pens I own were perfect out of the box; the other was a 912 with an FA nib that had to modified along with an aftermarket feed (I believe Pilot has the best quality control in the business) The only way to guarantee a perfect fit for you is to try one in person. Living in Montana, I never get to try one until it is in my mailbox. But what I like to know most of all is the reviewer happy with his sample and if he is, I know it is possible to get a perfect fit for me by having a nibmeister get that last little bit tweaked. It appears the Bologna is a pen worthy of purchase no matter how the nib performs right out of the box (of course it would be great to receive a pen that is as good as what we see in this review).

Nice! Wish you the best with it.

Planning to still want an Omas next month. And the month after. And the month after. Etc., etc. I also want a Pelikan M800 (blue stripe) but I not willing to shell out +US$100 more for that, either. At some point -- and US$350 goes well beyond it -- a fountain pen is just not worth the money to me. Of course, to others it's just pocket change. God bless the fountain pen makers, they are on to something here. (Like tulips, the infatuation will evaporate. The Omas and Pelican pens will be sold for a rational price. I'm afraid, though, I won't be around to enjoy the discounts.

Nice! All the best.

I did. A Lovely Member sent it to me! Yay! But I am having folding bones with it. They are hard to fold. (kidding)

Love the large Crocodile. It's actually a Crocodile because that was Jean René Lacoste's nickname on the court. Love it!

What did I use? i don't remember! I don't always use the same thing.

@@HemingwayJones Gerschwin Rhapsody in Blue with the boozey clarinet glissando!

I’m fine. Thanks for asking.
