After the war, production resumed with a stylistic renewal of the entire production range, moving, as was the case for virtually all the Italian manufacturers, to tapered lines with a classic torpedo shape. The new pens were identified by a three digits numerical code, which meaning has not been fully clarified, excepted for the fact that the number of decimal indicated the filling system, and the unit the pen dimension (although without a ascending order). The hundreds digit usually stands for the model, but the same number was used for many different model, so its meaning is not clear.

In the postwar period were produced the [[Montegrappa 2xx|200]], [[Montegrappa 3xx|300]] e [[Montegrappa 4xx|400]] series. In [[1946]] a fire partially destroyed the buildings, with some negative effects: the celluloid pens production was limited, and the [[Montegrappa]] focused in the production of metal overlays and in the use of injection plastic for pens. In [[1947]] the company was refounded as ''"Elmo - Montegrappa s.n.c."'' and in [[1951]] became the ''"Fabbrica Penne Stilografiche Elmo Montegrappa s.r.l."''.  

Nel primo dopoguerra vennero prodotte le penne delle serie [[Montegrappa 2xx|200]], [[Montegrappa 3xx|300]] e [[Montegrappa 4xx|400]]. Nel [[1946]] un incendio distrusse parzialmente gli stabilimenti, con degli effetti sulla produzione: la produzione in celluloide venne limitata, e la [[Montegrappa]] si concentrò sulla produzione di rivestimenti in metallo e nell'uso delle plastiche ad iniezione. Nel [[1947]] l'azienda viene rifondata come ''"Elmo - Montegrappa s.n.c."'' e nel [[1951]] diventò la ''"Fabbrica Penne Stilografiche Elmo Montegrappa s.r.l."''.  

The production of the '50s saw the gradual replacement of celluloid with injection plastic models, celluloid remained used only for the economic production of pens in pearl or ivory colors, then widely used as a typical gift for the First Communion. During this period was also made the move to [[cartridge filler]].
