A search revealed absolutely zilch about this member of the Omega family. Either no one has one, or maybe people are ashamed to admit they have one. 
Mine just arrived in the mail today from Shoebox Shave Shop.
The handle is plastic, light in weight, long in length, and cheap. But for a brush in this price range I wasn't expecting platinum and rubies. I deliberately bought this brush because of the long skinny handle, to reach down in shaving mugs. Shoebox says the handle is 65 mm long.
I own no metric ruler and frankly trying to think in millimeters gives me a headache, so all I can do is describe the knot. First, it is skinny. Shoebox says it is 21 mm; I have no reason to doubt them though I would have guessed it was even skinnier just by eyeballing it.
Second, the knot is short in loft. How short? Mine in its unbloomed, virgin state has a shorter loft than a bloomed Semogue 830, and is maybe a hair taller than a bloomed Tweezerman. I think that with this short a loft of unbleached Omega boar hair, this is going to be one scrubby little dude.
My first impression is that this brush may work nicely for digging soap out of a tall shaving mug and then possibly face lathering, which is precisely what I bought it for. I generally do not face lather but I am wanting to give it a shot so I will see how this puppy does. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
