................history of this brand, please refer to this very nice article here ...

 

 

 

I refere to your link:

<<During the mid 1930s, Lamy saw the potential of injection moulded plastic and expanded the company to include Artus Fullaltergesellschaft Kaufmann und Co which had patented and manufactured plastic plunger fill pens. In 1939, at the start of World War II, Lamy’s Berlin factory was producing both war munitions and more than 200,000 Orthos and Artus pens yearly.>>

...

Similar thoughts can be found at the "Lambrou" but I don`t think that this is right. I have never seen a patent of Kaufmann. And I never have heard of a Lamy factory in Berlin.

Kind Regards

Hello Thomas,

 

 

Thank you very much for your note. After our last chat, I believe, you are right again. I did not double check the article. You always make an interesting point ...

 

 

Kind regards,
