Aside from the novelty represented by the [[Pullman]] model the [[Météore]] continued to produce ordinary pens, and generally was quite conservative, maintaining for long the [[flat top]] style. Only in 1941 slightly [[Streamlined|tapered]] lines were adopted but, with the war going on, restrictions led to the use of steel nibs rather than gold. The models of this era were called [[Prior]], [[Selection]], [[Record]] and [[Pullman]]. In 1942,<ref>the date is indicative and is reported in [http://web.archive.org/web/20071012135105/http://stylos-francais.fr/meteore.php] but it is highly doubtful given that appears in advertising dating presumably the previous year (the dates of the advertisements come from ads and deductions related to the texts cited in the back and are not themselves completely reliable).</ref> because of the shortage of gold supply nibs were produced in steel, using a metal alloy called ''[[Vaedium]]''.
