Italian Pen Silver Makers Marks

[jar]

I thought it might be useful to build an index of the Italian Sterling silver Markers marks. This might be helpful particularly in identifying pens made for other labels, for example sold as Levenger pens.

 

I have identified a few over the years but it is certainly a very incomplete list.

 

Here are the ones I've identified so far.

 

Italian makers marks

Aurora
5TO

Stiplula
982FI
1770FI

Montegrappa
1055 VI would signify the older Aquila owned company.
1140 MI those products made during the Richemont phase.
2670 VI current Aquila owned company.

Ferrari da Varese
320VA

Grifos
73AO

 

Visconti

1425FI

 

Aqulia Brands

87 CE

 

 

 

 

 

The Makers mark will be found close to the proof stamp and always begin with a star ☆, numbers and then two letters.

 

If any of you have Italian pens that have a Sterling silver component could you please look and see what the makers mark happens to be and post it in this thread?

Hi Jar,

One of my Stipulas is marked with ☆ 1770 FI.

Hi Jar,

Thanks, I made that correction. Mea Culpa.

Just to let you know, (but maybe you already know it)

 

Number identify the jeweler/maker, letters identify the town

 

TO=Torino

FI=Firenze

MI=Milano

VI=Vicenza

VA=Varese

AO=Aosta

Yup, thanks for pointing that out. IIRC there are about 50 Provinces identified for Italy.

 

You have some pre first Aquila ownership Montegrappas I think. Any chance of checking on the makers id on those?

My Delta seems to say 1CE or 7CE, but looks more like it's saying 1CE.

Took a look at my Deltas. I think it's 1CE, but I can't entirely rule out 7CE. I need a better loupe for this.

Still looking for makers marks.

 

We need a definitive Delta as well as OMAS, Tibaldi, Marlen, Ancora, Krone

[Freddy]

Today two older Delta pens came along for the ride..both had 925 in an oval followed

by *1 CE..

I think omas is ☆144BO or ☆114BO but I'm not sure.

[Ceramicist]

Great idea.

[Penne Stilografiche]

Great idea.

+1, this should get pinned.

I think omas is ☆144BO or ☆114BO but I'm not sure.

I've been looking at sterling OMAS pens and they appear to all be stamped 144 BO (which I suppose would stand for Bologna).

Hi Jar,

One of Stipula's marks is 1770 FI, not 1717 FI.
