In 1927 the two Verga brothers, Alfredo and Eugenio, who until then had brought together the "Alfredo Verga dei Fratelli Verga Snc", owner of the Columbus trademark, parted. Eugenio become the owner of the Columbus brand, while Alfredo founded his new company that took the name of Omega A.V.M. (short for Alfredo Verga Milan).
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.
