The Montegrappa history is rather complex, the company was founded in 1912 in Bassano del Grappa with the name "Manifattura Pennini Oro per Stilografiche - The Elmo Pen"[1] by Edwige Hoffman and Heidrich Helm. It would therefore be more correct to refer to it with the Elmo name, used also for some models, since the use of the Montegrappa brand, with which it is now universally known, is much more late. Moreover, as the name testifies, the company initially produce only pens nibs, so it is at least arguable the claim to qualify itself as the first Italian manufacturer of fountain pens[2] since the production of the latter will not start until the beginning of the '20s.
- ↑ date and name comes form Giuseppe Fichera research published on the book Montegrappa of 1999.
