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 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,[1] because of the shortage of gold supply nibs were produced in steel, using a metal alloy called Vaedium.
