They were high quality models, with bicolor gold nib and an arrow clip very similar the [[Parker]] one (but with a  flat terminal part, as mentioned in the mark), which had a good success. The two higher-end models,  ''[[Saratoga Maxima|Maxima]]'' and ''[[Saratoga Medium|Medium]]'' are essentially identical and differ only in size. The model ''[[Saratoga Standard|Standard]]'' is less valuable, and in the '40s was also marketed under the brand ''[[Inco]]'' ({{Marchio|63398}}, also registered by Mengoni) that was also used for the inkwells.

In the early 40's the company between Webber and Mengoni broke up, presumably at the end of [[1941]], when Webber recorded under his own name the ''Saratoga'' brand ({{Marchio|64297}}), formerly registered with Mengoni, and was also dismissed the production of the pens by [[OMAS]]. In [[1942]], the [[Aurital]] trademark ({{Marchio|65269}}) was applied for, used as a gold substitute for "autarkic" alloy nibs. Edoardo Russo Webber continued to produce fountain pens, relying on manufacturers of lesser value with a corresponding reduction in the pens quality. After the war he produced other [[piston filler]] pens, marked  ''Saratoga-Webber''. The production went on with [[hooded nb]] models that were a clear [[Parker 51]] imitation, very similar to the analogous [[Radius]] products. There are traces of the use of the ''Saratoga'' trademark at least until 1973, in the renewal of the registration.
