Self-registerd as the ''First and most important Italian manufacturer of Fountain Pens'' the ''G. Tibaldi e C.'' is certainly one of the oldest factories Italian fountain pens; this record is disputed both by [[Montegrappa]], which traces its origins to four years before, and [[Nettuno]] whose initial traces date back to 1911. [[Montegrappa]], however, began production fountain pens only in the 20s, being born as a nibs manufacturer, and therefore cannot considered the first fountain pens factory, being in this back even to the [[Aurora]]. The [[Nettuno]], from the limited data available, it appears to have been a simple family business where pens were assembled for their shop, the registration of the company is, however, as of 1916 for the [[Tibaldi]] and the actual production of fountain pens also in this case is to ask starting from the 20s, which again does not qualify as either factory fountain pens, nor as a producer to all effects. The only documented antecedent production is the [[Uhlmann's Eterno]] one, of which there are traces as early as 1913.

The [[Modelli iniziali Tibaldi|first produced models]] were black hard rubber [[safety]] pens, both plain and  with metal [[overlay]]. Among these there were a special ''doctor's pen'' model that like the [[Omas]] one contained a thermometer inside the barrel. [[Tibaldi]] safeties remained in production with various modifications of the [[fall]] of [[Tibaldi]] until the 40s. But the most interesting in the early ones was the [[Perfecta]] model, produced in the early 20s, with a [[torsion filler]] and a  complex safety system as the first example of automatic filling fountain pen.
