OMAS 556/S WITH GOLD FILLED CAP IN SET WITH PENCIL AND BOX

Introduced in the late 1940's the Omas Extra 55X series was designed to be a real "work horse".

The line comprised both  cylindrical models ( with the "S" suffix) and facetted models (with the "F" suffix). Ogival modelsl were available in three sizes ( 555, 556 and 557) both in celluloid and with gold filled cap, to follow the  style of the world famous Parker 51.

Although pretty thin and light, the 556 model is really sturdy and very well balanced. It is a piston filler which is perfect for everyday use.

This Omas 556 with gold filled cap  comes with its matching pencil in the original box. 

It is an extraordinary writer with a very flexible and highly performing stub nib.
