With the progress of the war raw materials began to be scarce and in particular gold for nibs, as the majority of European companies [[OMAS]] had to resort to some steel alloy, that the company renamed ''[[Permanio]]'', that was declared to be better even than gold. In fact just this alloy proved to be one of the most susceptible to corrosion, so that today ''[[Permanio]]'' nibs are rare and have a much higher value of their analogues in gold. | With the progress of the war raw materials began to be scarce and in particular gold for nibs, as the majority of European companies [[OMAS]] had to resort to some steel alloy, that the company renamed ''[[Permanio]]'', that was declared to be better even than gold.
