In the first half of '20s  the [[Columbus 670]] model, very similar to [[Waterman 42]], was introduced. It was produced in three size, normal, thin, and ladies,  and in black, red or [[mottled]] ebonite. The range of available [[overlay]]s was also expanded, form the simple engraving machine were added to decorations or bas gallery and this work became one of the strengths of the company. There is a remarkable production of this pen with an engraving of the star of David on the body of the pen (also listed on the packaging) as a result of an agreement between Columbus and the ghetto in Milan.

Nel 1927, la produzione di [[rientranti]] incominciò a subire gli effetti dell'evoluzione del mercato, orientato verso sistemi di caricamento più funzionali. Di fronte alle difficoltà l'azienda si sciolse e le attività dei due fratelli si separarono, Alfredo si mise in proprio dando vita alla ''[[Omega A.V.M.]]'' mentre Eugenio, restato titolare del marchio [[Columbus]], decise di proseguire le sue attività da solo, dando vita ad una ditta individuale con il suo nome.  

In 1927, when the [[safety]] ebonite models were too old, the company faced a crisis and broke up. The two brothers separated, ''Alfredo Verga'' founded its own company, the ''[[Omega A.V.M.]]'' while ''Eugenio Verga'', owning of the [[Columbus]] trademark, continued alone creating a personal company with its own name.
