Bibliothèque nationale
Permalink Closed

In 1994 Omas introduced their  Bibliotheque Nationale Commemorative.



Every example I've found so far has had the bow tie clip although I was told there is also a version with the roller clip.



It is a Milord sized pen done simply in an offwhite parchment color reminiscent of fine lambskin.



It is a classic Omas, the nib is smooth and wet, piston filled and a joy to write with.

I've got the Omas Bibliotheque's in a fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint and mechanical pencil. None of mine have a roller type clip.

I've never seen one with a roller but was told once that there was one.

Do you have a picture of one with the roller clip?

is that celluloid, casein or ???

White pens scare me. I LOVE heavy/saturated inks & I know they would stain the hell out of it.

It's a vegetal resin.
