Can I change the nib size after I buy it?

The nib size you choose at purchase is the one the pen ships with. Changing it later requires sourcing a compatible nib separately or working with a pen technician, so choose the width that matches your handwriting size and the paper you use most.

Does the pen post, and does posting change the balance?

The cap posts securely on the barrel if you write that way. Posting adds weight to the back end, which some writers prefer for stability and others find too heavy. The pen is designed to work comfortably either posted or unposted, so try both and use whichever feels better.

What kind of ink refill system does this pen use?

OMAS Ogiva pens typically use a piston or cartridge-converter fill system. Check with the seller for the specific mechanism on this model, as some variants differ. Either way, you'll need bottled ink or cartridges compatible with the fill method.

Is the green finish durable, or does it scratch easily?

Acrylic is more scratch-resistant than most resin finishes and polishes back to a shine if it does pick up light marks over time. The dark green hides minor wear better than lighter colors, but like any polished pen, it benefits from being capped when not in use and stored away from keys or other hard objects.

How does a 14K gold nib write compared to a steel nib?

Gold nibs have more flex and feedback than steel, which gives you better line variation and a tactile connection to the page. They also show inconsistent pressure more clearly, so if you press hard or unevenly, you'll feel it. Steel nibs are more forgiving and stiffer, while gold nibs reward a lighter, more controlled hand.

Dark green acrylic fountain pen with 14K gold nib and gold-plated trim

Most fountain pens at this level default to black, blue, or demonstrator clear because those are safe. This one uses a dark green that gives you distinction without novelty, a color that works in contexts where a marbled or patterned finish would read as too casual but where another black pen disappears into the rotation.

The Ogiva taper is the reason: it's a shape that's been refined over decades, and it puts the balance point exactly where your fingers close around the barrel. That geometry makes the pen comfortable for long writing sessions in a way that straight or evenly weighted bodies don't match. You get that profile here in a colorway that hasn't been done to death, which matters if you're building a collection or just want a pen you'll reach for because it feels like yours.

Good gift when

Writers who use a fountain pen daily and want something that performs beyond its looks
Collectors expanding their rotation with a colorway that stands apart from standard black
People who appreciate Italian pen design and want the Ogiva profile in a rich green
Anyone who needs a pen that reads as serious in professional settings but isn't generic

Skip it if You want a pen that unscrews and refills without needing to learn its fill system, or you prefer steel nibs that forgive inconsistent pressure.

The details

This fountain pen pairs the Ogiva profile with deep green acrylic and warm gold accents. The 14K gold nib writes with the control and feedback that metal nibs deliver, available in four widths to match your hand and the way you form letters. Gold-plated trim adds warmth without flash, and the acrylic body balances weight in a way that keeps long sessions comfortable.

The green is dark enough to read as professional but distinct enough to stand out on a desk. The finish shows depth and variation in different light, giving the pen character without pattern or texture that might date or distract. It's a colorway that works in contexts where novelty would look out of place but where a standard black or blue feels like a missed opportunity.

The Ogiva shape tapers toward both ends, putting the widest point near where your fingers rest. That geometry makes the pen feel substantial without being heavy, and the curve gives your grip something to settle into. The cap posts securely if you write that way, or the pen works unposted if you prefer the shorter, lighter feel.

Each nib width changes what the pen is best at. Extra fine handles small handwriting and cheap paper without feathering. Fine works for most everyday writing and note-taking. Medium suits larger script and gives your writing more presence on the page. Broad is for signatures, addresses, and anyone who wants line variation to show up without trying. All four are engineered for consistent flow and the slight resistance that helps you control your strokes.
