In this early period there is trace of some Parker models (Duofold and Thrift Time) marked Geo. S. Parker - fabbricato in Italia whose production is attributed to OMAS. There is a debate about these pens, whether they are a real production on Parker commission, made to circumvent the restrictions by the autarkic policies of the fascist regime, or it is a semi-official production ordered by the Parker agent for Italy, Edoardo Webber, which was facing a supply shortage, or whether it really was a clandestine (and illegal) production. As there are no documents, and no other findings than proof of a subsequent relationships between Simoni and Webber for the production of Saratoga fountain pen, there is any definitive conclusion.
