Like other Italian pens of the same period, [[Columbus]] pens were imitations of the most famous models at that time, but they were produced locally so they could be sold at much lower prices. Most of the [[Columbus]] initial production consisted in [[safety]] pens with gold plated (both 14k or 18k) [[overlay]]s. The pens had good technical quality, and their decorations were very sophisticated, by far the best of that time and significantly better than those of the foreign models they imitated.
