Nel 1927 i due fratelli Verga, Alfredo ed Eugenio, che fino ad allora avevano condotto insieme la Alfredo Verga dei Fratelli Verga Snc, proprietaria del marchio Columbus, si separarono. Eugenio rimase proprietario del marchio Columbus, mentre Alfredo fondò una sua nuova azienda che prese il nome di Omega A.V.M. (registrato lo stesso anno, Reg. Gen. N. 35467), dove A.V.M. è l'acronimo di Alfredo Verga Milano.
Although there are no registration aboit it, there are strong indications that the company was also the maker of the Ardita brand, a minor brand used in economic productions, because pens were found being branded Ardita A.V.M., [1] characterized by the same acronym, and then resulted in further discoveries[2] to be equipped with a nib marked Omega A.V.M., which leads us to think that this trademark was used by the company for its low-end production.
At least initially, it is believed that the company has maintained the production of safety models with precious metal overlays typical of the Columbus initial production. These models were followed by celluloid button filler models called Supernova, and later also with lever filler. The information about this company are quite slim, but the production seems to be continued even after the war, with imitations of American models, in particular, is known a version of Supernova with a clip very similar to that of a Skyline and a wide band on the cap like the one found on certain Crest and Tuckaway models.
