The ''Matador'' brand belongs to ''Siebert & Löwen'', founded in [[1895]] by ''Adolf Siebert'' and ''Ewald Loewen'' and operating in the production of office supplies, with production in Wuppertal-Elberfeld(?). It is not known an exact date for the fountain pens market entry, but activities in that field can tracked back at least at [[1911]], date of the first known patent ({{Cite patent|FR|431385}}) for a [[safety]]. The production of the beginning of the 20s was aimed at creating economic pens of good quality, with a very good quality/price ratio. The company is also known as ''Standard-Matador''.

Nel [[1949]] circa<ref>in un suo libro Andreas Lambrou riporta come probabile quest'anno, in [http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/288933-a-matador-click-120-is-out-of-warranty/ questa discussione] viene riportato il 1946, mentre la possibile esistenza di una garanzia originante addirittura al 1936 si è rivelata non attribuibile con certezza a questo modello.</ref> produsse quello che probabilmente è il primo cappuccio ermetico a scatto, con il modello denominato ''[[Matador-Click]]'', dal rumore che contraddistingueva la corretta chiusura del cappuccio.
