Although not strictly a fountain pens manufacturer, the ''Fratelli Cavaliere'' has a significant role in the Italian fountain pen history, as it is at the apex in the [[overlay]] processing that are found in pens distributed by many other brands. Therefore, even in the absence of a production marked explicitly ''Fratelli Cavaliere'' is quite common to find pens bearing the company logo: a horseshoe intersected by a stylus, showed in the side picture, registered with the words ''"Fabbrica penne oro e fermagli"'',<ref>the full image is on the Letizia Jacopini book where is reported as "Marca di fabbrica, C.P.E. Milano N. 61375", while in [[:File:1928-01-FratelliCavaliere-Envelope.jpg|this envelop]] is mentioned "C.C.I. Milano N. 61375", but unfortunately this trademark does not appear in the online archive of the Archivio Centrale dello Stato.</ref> The company production can also identified, by the less known ''Linda Darnes'' punch (wife of founder Giuseppe Cavaliere) shown in the picture below.

The ''Fratelli Cavaliere'' it's best known for the production of the beautiful [[overlay]]s made on behalf of [[Waterman]], for which the company officially became the producer at least since [[1929]] (as it results from [[:File:1929-05-FratelliCavaliere-Invoice.jpg|this invoice]]), which are considered among the most refined of the time. Between [[1932]] and [[1934]]<ref>the last advertisement found that still reports  company Rag. D. Capra as agent is [[:File:1932-04-Waterman-Models.jpg|this one]] of April 1932, while the first relating to the new agent is [[:File:1934-11-Waterman-9x.jpg|this one]] of November 1934.</ref> the Cavaliere brothers also become exclusive agents for Italy of [[Waterman]], with the passage the agents office to the new headquarters in Via Camperio 9. The management of the representation was carried out by Carlo and Giuseppe Cavaliere, while Aldo continued to follow the production activities.

The later history of the company is quite uncertain; in the "Annuario Industriale della provincia di Milano" of [[1939]] (at [[:File:1939-AnnuarioIndustriale-ProvMI-p870.png|page 870]]) the head office is listed at Viale Papiniano 38 and the reported owner is Alessio Cavaliere. On the other hand, there is no mention of the company in the [[1956]] "Annuario generale dell'industria e del prodotto italiano" (General yearbook of Italian industry and products), which presumably allows an upper limit to be placed on the closure of the company.
