Although [[Omas Extra|Extra]] was very similar to the [[Eversharp]] [[Doric]], introduced a few months before, it is still controversial whether it is an imitation, since the time between the two pens is rather short. [[OMAS]] estimators point out that given the short time between the release of two pens, it would not possible to create production facilities if the [[Omas Extra|Extra]] was a [[Doric]] imitation. but there is no information supporting this claim, and many evidence of the company abit to imitate american models. Whether the [[Omas Extra|Extra]] can be considered an imitation or not, for its materials, quality and workmanship, it is at the same level, if not better, than the models which it may have been inspired. The pen was an huge success and remained in production until 1946, albeit with minor stylistic changes, like the introduction of a smooth version and the substitution of the wide band with three tiny rings.
