A link with [[OMAS]] is certainly evidenced by the "[[penna del dottore]]" marked [[The King]] shown in the side picture. It's possible, therefore, that some models, like the one shown, were produced to order and then rebranded. If therefore there are traces (as we shall see below) that link [[The King]] to [[OMAS]] is still quite unreliable the opposite hypothesis that would have been the [[The King]]/[[SAFIS ]] to produce [[OMAS]] pens, since the company's foundation is later.

The later production were ''[[flat top]]'' models that as much of the Italian production of the time turn out to be clear imitations of the [[Parker]] [[Duofold]]. These models are still branded as ''[[The King Superior]]'' and produced in two sizes and five colors. Unlike [[Duofold]] there pens were equipped with an original twist filling system (patent {{Cite patent|IT|268827}}) which can be accessed by unscrewing the cap anyway. During this period the top model is the ''[[The King Diamond]]'', featuring a cap with countersunk head decorated with a greek band.
