The birth of this company originates from the Edoardo Russo Webber activities, working in the Italian fountain pen market since 1916 as the Italian Parker dealer, and later also as the Astoria dealer, for which he registered the trademarks in Italy (Reg. Gen. N. 27479, Reg. Gen. N. 27562 and Reg. Gen. N. 27563). During the '30s[1] the Parker exclusive concession was withdrawn for reasons not entirely clear (it's been suggested by a unauthorized production of Parker models in Italy, commissioned to OMAS), so he joined Virginio Mengoni, owner of a successful stationery store in Milan, creating the Saratoga brand, as resulting from the first registration note of the trademark in January 1941 (Reg. Gen. N. 63047) made in common with Mengoni and the use of a particular arrow clip whose form had been registered a few months later by Mengoni (Reg. Gen. N. 63465).
