The initial production models included gold rolled [[overlay]] models, [[safety]] models and [[Duofold]] style ''[[flat top]]'' pens as much of the Italian production of that period. In subsequent years, the style continued to follow the general trends of the Italian market, with streamlined pens in [[Doric]] (or [[Omas Extra]]) style equipped with wheel clips.
