− | Almeno inizialmente si ritiene che l'azienda abbia mantenuto la produzione di modelli [[rientranti]] con [[overlay|rivestimenti]] in metallo pregiato tipica della produzione iniziale della [[Columbus]]. A questi seguirono modelli in [[celluloide]] con caricamento a [[pulsante di fondo]] denominati ''[[Supernova]]'', ed in seguito anche con [[caricamento a levetta]]. Le informazioni al riguardo di questa azienda sono piuttosto scarse, ma la produzione pare essere proseguita anche dopo la guerra, con imitazioni di modelli americani, in particolare è nota una versione di ''[[Supernova]]'' con una clip molto simile a quella di una [[Skyline]] ed una banda larga sul cappuccio come quella presente su alcune [[Crest]] e [[Tuckaway]].
| + | Although there are no registration aboit it, there are strong indications that the company was also the maker of the [[Ardita]] brand, a minor brand used in economic productions, because pens were found being branded ''Ardita A.V.M.'', <ref>you can consult [https://forum.fountainpen.it/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=13006 this topic] for details.</ref> characterized by the same acronym, and then resulted in further discoveries<ref>detailed in this [https://forum.fountainpen.it/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=14195 additional argument] with relevant photos.</ref> to be equipped with a nib marked ''Omega A.V.M.'', which leads us to think that this trademark was used by the company for its low-end production. |

− | ===Riferimenti esterni=== | + | At least initially, it is believed that the company has maintained the production of [[safety]] models with precious metal [[overlay]]s typical of the [[Columbus]] initial production. A mid-range production was marketed under the brand [[Vega]], to which was added the name ''"Ideal Fountain Pen"'' o ''"Ideal Super Pen"''. These models were followed by celluloid [[button filler]] models called ''[[Supernova]]'', and later also with [[lever filler]]. The information about this company are quite slim, but the production seems to be continued even after the war, with imitations of American models, in particular, is known a version of ''[[Supernova]]'' with a clip very similar to that of a [[Skyline]] and a wide band on the cap like the one found on certain [[Crest]] and [[Tuckaway]] models. |
