With the progress of World War II came also a shortage of raw materials, particularly for gold nib, and like most of the European companies OMAS had to resort to some steel alloy. The one used by OMAS was called Permanio, and was advertised as having a better durability even when compared to gold. But this alloy proved to be one of the most susceptible to corrosion, and today Permanio nibs are very rare and have a much higher value of their analogues in gold.
