| − | Around the mid '20s [[Nettuno]], like all other Italian brands, began a production of [[Duofold]] imitations, which at the time was the stylistic reference for all Italian manufacturers. In this case the [[button filler]] was also adopted, and these [[Nettuno Flattop|models]], apart from the incision of the ''Nettuno'' name on the clip, are substantially identical to the [[Parker]] original model, both for the ball clip, than for the shape of the body, cap and bottom. In the 30s, continuing to follow [[Duofold]] evolution, were produced new models in ''[[streamlined]]'' version, and was also introduced a new clip with a spatula shaped termination. | + | Around the mid '20s [[Nettuno]], like all other Italian brands, began a production of [[Duofold]] imitations, which at the time was the stylistic reference for all Italian manufacturers.
