The Opus 88 Omar fountain pen is a large eyedropper-filled pen with a piston operated shut-off valve. The colored barrel of this pen is translucent, allowing you to see your ink level. The cap is made of an opaque flecked resin with different shades of the color the pen comes in. The pen features an ivory resin finial and piston knob, a silver clip, and a silver stainless steel #6 JoWo nib. It also comes with a glass eyedropper to fill the pen with your favorite ink. An ebonite piston and rubber gasket seals the feed off from the barrel when fully depressed, reducing the risk of leakage and burping. By unscrewing the blind cap and loosening the rod at the rear of the barrel, you open up the ink flow to the feed. During long writing sessions, leave the shut-off valve open to take advantage of the impressive ink capacity.
Masterfully engineered to serve both form and function, Opus 88 pens transcend mere communication to reflect the artistry that is the written word.

Those who recognize the power and beauty of an exquisite writing instrument appreciate his work. Since 1988, as an OEM/ODM supplier, Michael has earned a reputation for excellence.
