Description:
Excellent vintage and very rare Osmia Progress 96 fountain pen made  in 1920 - 30s. This is a large pen, longer than standard Osmia 96. You can see on one photo the standard 96 and this pen, which is app 12 mm longer. Pen is fitted with a very rare type of vacumatic filler specific to Osmia.  The filling system is working but it is not taking the ink, so it might need a new bladder.
Unfortunately I do not have parts or skill to replace the bladder on vintage Osmia.
Beautiful large Osmia No. 6  14 K flexible nib in EF size. Excellent and deep imprints. A must for serious collectors.
The pen is in very good condition.  Beautiful collector’s item or an excellent pen for regular use.
