It is best known for marketing in [[1932]] the [[Duocolor]], a double pen allowing you to either use two separated pens loaded with different colors. This pen is identical to [[Zerollo]] and in essence is nothing more than a rebranding of the Genoese company products.

As for [[Zerollo]] the pen had limited success, because of the mechanical fragility due to the considerable complexity of the same, and the relative utility of the solution. It was also expensive, so in the end a few were produced, and is therefore one of the most sought after and most expensive French pens.
