The company was based in Milan, in Via Cesare da Sesto 12 and was active from the 20s to 50s. It is not known a founding date but Letizia Jacopini indicates the mid-20s, and the full name of ''"Prima Fabbrica Nazionale Penne Oro e Matite"''. Its [[overlay]]s can be found on pens of the most famous brands like [[Montblanc]], [[Kaweco]], [[Astoria]], [[Waterman]], [[Columbus]], and other less known as [[Omega]], [[Europa]], [[Aurea]]. The company catalogs reported hundreds of motifs and decorations available.

In addition to [[overlay]] products for other brands it is believed that the company direct production is linked to various brand names. The main one is probably ''[[Universal]]'' for there are may sample with the brand punch, other are ''[[Ideal]]'' and ''[[Anglo-Amer]]''; for this latest trademark (more precisely for the  ''"THE ANGLO AMER fountain pen"'') the company claims to be and agent in the envelope shown by side; we don't know it this is related to the [[Angloamer]] trademark.

The ''Fratelli Cavaliere'' it's best known for the production of the beautiful [[overlay]]s made on behalf of [[Waterman]], for which the company officially became the producer at least since [[1929]] (as it results from [[:File:1929-05-FratelliCavaliere-Invoice.jpg|this invoice]]), which are considered among the most refined of the time. Between [[1932]] and [[1934]]<ref>the last advertisement found that still reports  company Rag. D. Capra as agent is [[:File:1932-04-Waterman-Models.jpg|this one]] of April 1932, while the first relating to the new agent is [[:File:1934-11-Waterman-9x.jpg|this one]] of November 1934.</ref> the Cavaliere brothers also become exclusive agents for Italy of [[Waterman]], with the passage the agents office to the new headquarters in Via Camperio 9. The management of the representation was carried out by Carlo and Giuseppe Cavaliere, while Aldo continued to follow the production activities.

The ''Fratelli Cavaliere'' it's best known for the production of the beautiful [[overlay]]s made on behalf of [[Waterman]], for which the company officially became the producer in the years around 1931/32,<ref>following wat said by Letizia Iacopini [http://xoomer.virgilio.it/leiacopi/waterman_fset.htm here].</ref> wich are among the finest of that period.

The later history of the company is quite uncertain; in the "Annuario Industriale della provincia di Milano" of [[1939]] (at [[:File:1939-AnnuarioIndustriale-ProvMI-p870.png|page 870]]) the head office is listed at Viale Papiniano 38 and the reported owner is Alessio Cavaliere. On the other hand, there is no mention of the company in the [[1956]] "Annuario generale dell'industria e del prodotto italiano" (General yearbook of Italian industry and products), which presumably allows an upper limit to be placed on the closure of the company.
