In [[1940]] there was a restyling of the [[Superluxe]] line going towards a more streamlined cap but maintaining the conical ends of the pen and the new [[Superstyl]]  was introduced, still a [[lever filler]], in two versions, for men and women. The [[Superstyl]] had three rings on the cap and a spear-shaped clip with a double "V" pattern; it was made of celluloid produced in many colors, and equipped with a gold nib.
