OMAS Selangor - extremely rare
Permalink Closed

For sale is an OMAS Selangor fountain pen. This is an extremely rare limited edition. Only 30 pens were made, this is number 15. Stories vary on the history of this pen, but most agree that this pen was never meant to be sold. I believe it was commissioned by a private party for an event. The current OMAS distributors know nothing about this pen - they are unaware of its existents. The pen is vermeil over blue resin. the pen has intricate carvings of mosques with some of the carvings deep enough to expose the blue resin below. I have met one other person in the US who has this pen. As far as I know, there are no others. The pen is mint, never filled or dipped. All packaging (nothing fancy) is included. $2,000 includes ground shipping within the 48 States. Add 3% if you would like to use PayPal. Pictures of this pen, along with other pens I have for sale, can be seen at: http://gallery.me.com/kevinmccormick#100088 If you are seriously interested in purchasing this pen I will email more pictures Kevin

Another one of those Ultra rare pens that seems to be more of a jobber for someone else. I wonder who paid OMAS to make the pen.

I don't know what the current situation is with OMAS.. I lost interest in the company when it was sold and the family left. I don't think the quality of the pens has been the same.

This pen was made well before the transition. I would say it is at least ten years old.

It looks like the kind of thing that might have been made for the Sultan of Brunei, to give away as gifts to visitors. It may well have been ordered when the Sultan was feeling wealthy, but canceled when he discovered that this brother Jofri had squandered $89Billion on wine women and song. However the name "Selangor" does not correspond to this.
